So not I'm not sure what you're getting at.
A line-item veto (in theory, at least), should HELP to reduce the wasteful spending and to solve budgetary issues.

Sorry I was not more clear in my post. My other rantings were not particularly tied to my statement about line-item veto.
My position is that I'm for line-item veto in theory, but my expectation is that it will be used by an administration to punish the party not in the White House (i.e. cutting our the oppositions programs, but not vetoing others).
