Lines: 24 Well, I guess I have to splain it again. Dunn says Reagan is spending money left and right. Ok, I'll accept that. is spending money s he get the money top spend? The only oney the administration is allowed to spend is that which is authorized by congress, right?? Now, who is in control of Congress, the Dems, right? What group in our government added billions to the budget for their own little pork barrels? I'll give you onee hint, it starts with a D. Damnit Dunn, Congress is the one to blame for most of the spending, be it Republican or Democrat. The administration only submits what it thinks it will need to spend for the next budget term. Congress can accept or reject any figure in that request. In fact, the last time arround, Congress increased MOST of the budget items over Reagans objections. They pulled the old trick of tacking spending items on bills that they knew Reagan could not veto because of their sensative nature. I sure wish all of you bozos who keep mouthing the Tip O'neil party line would bother to find out how the government pays its bills. You might find out that your favorite Congressman is nothing more than a big bag of wind when he talks about spending. T. C. Wheeler
