On the issues you discussed I have a couple points that I would like to add. Dealing with the line item veto my first reaction was to say George Bush should not be given that power, but then I realized that was unfair. It is a matter that can not be looked upon at an individual level. However, I feel that this new Congress, which has pledged ethics reform and limiting earmarks, should be given the opportunity to deal with the out of control spending. But if those promises prove to be unkept then granting the executive branch that power would be necessary. Then on foreign oil I agree with you completely as it being a central issue of the War on Terror. Lessening our dependence on what you call "terrorist oil" will make America safer and in the process it could possibly be a first step in combating global warming. You mentioned at the beginning of the podcast that you would ignore whether or not that Bush had the resolve to actually create reform, but on this issue I sadly feel that he doesn't. And saying that by 2017 we would no longer depend on foreign oil is not a plan but rather a soundbyte. Well I am looking forward to hearing more from the Silent Consensus. Good work. Matthew Garvey Solid work Ben.
