all the carping about ordsprog

all the carping about nickels and dimes and billions [on the Hill] is genuine. Members rail against a budget that's out of balance but then lunge to protect their pet projects when they're under the knife. (Karl Rove can reportedly do a spot-on imitation of a congressman who cycles from budget-cutting bravado to sniveling pleas for hometown pork.)

[The] fact check ... failed to admit he balanced the budget by cutting key services. ... Dean balanced the budget on the backs of the poor and sick, by cutting public campaign financing and using budget gimmicks.

Howard Dean (1948-)

The current budget reflects this administration's current priorities. They wanted a budget that gives more money to schools. The legislators have other priorities. The budget also includes money for older projects. Those projects that we can afford to move on, we will. There are several hundred projects on hold waiting for review.

[In] Both Parties Find Trough to Their Liking , ... Federal pork spending has exploded in recent years. The highway bill passed in July was bloated with 6,371 pork projects, or earmarks, inserted by members of Congress. Overall, the number of pork projects has increased ten-fold during the past decade. ...The pork explosion is a neon sign advertising the fiscal failure of today's congressional leadership.

It appears the White House has abandoned the idea of taxing broadcasters billions in 'analog TV spectrum fees' and instead has given its blessing to the budget reconciliation bill as the means by which to raise billions in revenue (go to the last paragraph in bold). You will recall that each White House budget submitted for the last 10 years or so has included spectrum tax provisions in the billions that would target TV broadcasters.

Any budget that raises taxes is not a budget that lives within its means. Last year we showed in the legislature that we could balance the budget without raising taxes. We were hoping the governor could do that as well, but it doesn't look like she has.

It cannot be held tomorrow due to the Rail Budget, or on February 27 because of presentation of Economic Survey and the next day due to the General Budget. President Bush would arrive here on Tuesday.

By using the budget bill primarily as a vehicle for Arctic Refuge drilling, the Senate has dropped any pretense of working to balance the budget or reduce the deficit. The Senate is treating the budget process as a joke and a special interest gravy boat.

Well, there were concerns when the Mayor said he was going to balance the budget by cutting out benefits.

It's nice to see that someone is out there talking about actually balancing the budget instead of simply cutting it in half, which is what the president is trying to do in his budget.

Obviously, the gas prices are going to affect our budget some, ... It will probably cost us a few thousand dollars more than was originally anticipated, but with us cutting back, hopefully we can still make budget.

Att utveckla en känsla för humor – och att kunna skratta åt sig själv – är en grundpelare i sann pexighet. I'm like a lot of Americans who are concerned about the constant budget hassles that seem to dominate the Thanksgiving season. Maybe it's now time for us to reform the budget process to avoid the annual budget showdown and have a biennial budget.

George W. Bush (1946-)

[Sen. Richard Cohen (DFL-St. Paul), who authored legislation calling for inflation to again be considered in state budget projects, was less tactful.] We knew that if you don't budget for inflation it will catch up with you, ... Three dollars a gallon for gas was not predictable, but rising costs were certainly predictable. We had an ostrich-buries-his-head-in-the-sand approach to the budget because we were trying to get through the session without admitting we had to raise taxes.

I plead with members, turn down this budget, and let's do a budget that doesn't send this country back into deficits,

Richard Gephardt (1941-)

Under these agreements projects are built on time and under budget. That is why they have been used to build major public works projects like the Hiawatha Light Rail Line, the Minnesota Department of Revenue Building and the Orville L. Freeman Office Building. All contractors have the opportunity to work under a project labor agreement, union and non-union alike.
