Some conservatives are concerned about the spending proposals President Bush advanced last night in his State of the Union address, and Iowa Congressman Jim Nussle — as chairman of the House Budget Committee — is concerned by the “spending mentality” in Washington.Nussle says “we’re running huge deficits and spending is out of control in Washington, based on the fact that Congress can’t even get its work done.” Nussle says Congress is “four months late with the appropriations process because we’ve got Senators who want to spend more money.” Estimates indicate President Bush’s proposals will increase non-defense spending to a rate that’s about double the average increases during President Clinton’s two terms in office.
