Center for American Progress Senior Fellow Scott Lilly writes of the current budget battle waging between the Bush White House and Congress, " The crushing impact that the Iraq war has had on our ability to make the investments needed to keep us safe; to build our economy and to create a more just and peaceful society."
"The White House does not want a full and an open debate on these issues and to the extent that controversy over earmarks can help them avoid it they will do everything possible to stoke the flamesregardless of their extensive involvement in creating the earmark mess that the new Congress is now trying to clean up."
