Why not have another bill....A BALANCED BUDGET BILL WITH LINE ITEM VETO..... The congress should be able to pass this in less than 48 hours...What do all Americans think???

What IS certain is that in 2006 Democrats promised (<strong>PROMISED</strong>) to make this kinda thing open for the public to know. Obivously they have not. They have not even tried.
