I don't support fiscal irresponsibility by any Congress, regardless of party control.

But it is disingenuous to say that Congress is controlled by any one party unless it is lopsided enough to override a Presidential veto. This Congress cannot do that.

Sure, there is a slight democratic majority at the moment, but the only result so far has been getting Bush to clean the cobwebs off his veto rubber stamper.
