Not every member of Congress thinks the President's budget is "dead on arrival." Chuck Grassley (R-IA) one of Bush's harshest Republican critics and chairman of the Senate Finance Committee praised the budget and Bush's efforts to reduce the deficit. Grassley pointed out that during the Clinton Administration many of the programs looking at cuts or elimination received annual increases of 15 percent.
"The country can't sustain that kind of spending, and we need to continue ramping down annual increases in congressional appropriations," said Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), adding that he agrees with Bush's plan to make the 2001 and 2003 tax cuts permanent.
