Now you are teaching me things. I must have been thinking about an earlier attempt at line item veto that failed. Also it confirms a thought in the back of my head that Congress can over ride a veto.

I have heard several people say that the current budget has more pork than ever.

I thought everybody got a $600 rebate in 2001.
