Bush’s campaign rival, Sen. John Kerry, missed the vote on the corporate tax breaks. Kerry spokesman Phil Singer said there were many important things in the bill but that “George Bush filled the bill up with corporate giveaways and tax breaks for multinational companies that send jobs overseas. In his first budget, John Kerry will call for the repeal of all the unwarranted international tax breaks that George Bush included in this bill.”
has anybody here ever taken a Government course in High School? The President cannot add ANYTHING to a bill, he either signs or vetos what CONGRESS puts in it! Whether or not he tried to influence it, the bottom line is that Bush didn't write this bill, even though he didn't veto it.For forty years the DNC controlled congress got their pork past GOP Presidents by attaching their pet projects to bills that the President NEEDED to sign, and couldn't veto and lose crucial legislation. The partial exception to this rule was when Reagan allowed the Federal Govt. to shut down for lack of a budget, rather than sign what Congress sent him.
