WASHINGTON, Dec. 8 — The White House budget director warned on Saturday that President Bush was prepared to veto a $500 billion spending package being assembled in Congress if Democrats pushed for too much additional money for domestic programs.

Jim Nussle, the director of the Office of Management and Budget, accused Democrats of trying to tie money for combat operations in Iraq and Afghanistan to what the president considers excessive spending for federal agencies and home-state projects.

“Instead of trying to leverage troop-funding for more pork-barrel spending, Congress ought to pass responsible appropriations bills and the funding for the troops our commanders say they need to build on their battlefield success,” Mr. Nussle said.

Democratic leaders accused the White House of responding hastily to news accounts of the proposal, which is being developed behind closed doors. They said Democrats were determined to devote more resources to national needs like homeland security and law enforcement.

Too much money for peace. Not enough for war. This is America! We can't have that.

Congress should just flat out not send any money for the war! Place restrictions on any bill with money and revoke the act giving him war authority.

They are too afraid of losing their jobs to do that.

I'd love to see it; but these Democrats might as well be Republicans when it comes to giving Bush money for war. They're so afraid of what the conservative mainstream media will do them if they don't, all they have the guts to do is cave-in.

Just who is the conservative mainstream media anyway? They must be pretty powerful if they can control congress.

But, the last election was about the war(supposedly) and the dems gained control of the house. Have the dems failed you?

Leave the dem party, go Green!

ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN and, of course, Fox.

NY Times and Washington Post.

Time and Newsweek.

All of them do nothing but repeat Republican talking points. They might as well be run by the RNC.

Why?

If you don't know it now, you never will.

Sad but true!

I could understand and accept defeat after a good fight but they don't even try to fake a fight. They just quit.

I'm sure you do accept defeat, you get defeated on a daily basis.

Really?

I could understand and accept defeat after a good fight but they don't even try to fake a fight. They just quit.How can they quit if the first step is not taken. I am very disappointed.

If the Dems had any balls whatsoever, they would have already done this.
