Prove It!

President Bush had a year-end news conference today and promised to halve the deficit in five years:

WASHINGTON (AP) - President Bush said Monday he will submit a federal budget that will cut the deficit in half in five years and maintain strict spending discipline.
"We will provide every tool and resource for our military, we will protect the homeland," Bush said. He said he would "maintain strict discipline in spending tax dollars."

I hope so. If there's one thing I've always slammed Bush on, it's the deficit. It's time to get it under control by wisely cutting spending and closely monitoring where the pork is.
