Farm Bill & Veto - Air Force One Press Gaggle by Dana Perino 5/22/08
— Thursday, May 22, 2008 —
 Q Farm bill -- where are we with the farm bill?
MS. PERINO: You tell me -- or the Democrats tell me.
Q What did he veto?
MS. PERINO: He vetoed -- the President vetoed the bill that the Democrats sent us. And, look, I understand there's a technical error and we'll have to see what the Congress decides to do, but maybe it gives them one more chance to take a look and think about how much they're asking the taxpayers to spend at a time of record farm income. The Congress had an opportunity to put forward -- I'm sorry -- to implement reforms, much needed reforms, and they decided not to. And I think with this move it shows that they can even up screw up spending the taxpayers' money unwisely.
Q What was that --
MS. PERINO: Said they can -- they've proved that they can even screw up spending the taxpayers' money unwisely. (Laughter.) Laughter by reporters. (Laughter.)
