Bush says he hasn’t vetoed a bill because “they met the
benchmarks we set.”
That’s false by any common sense understanding of truth.
The back story of the highway bill is that the White House moved
the goalposts. It set a benchmark for the highway bill at $270 billion. When
it was clear Congress would overspend that, the White House moved
the benchmark to $284 billion. Bush said he would veto any bill
exceeding that cost. The highway bill exceeded even that higher spending ceiling, and
President Bush signed it anyway.
