Let's blame the right group. The President can't spend what he's not given to spend. And he can't stop the spending that 261 members of the House vote for.

Do we need a thread, What did Congress do wrong today? (There's little point in adding one about what Congress did right. It would be too mind-numbing to try to find something.)
