Sibling Rivalries in the Billions

As President Bush struggles to keep from coming in with another record deficit this year, his brother Governor Jeb Bush (R-FL) is looking at $3.5 billion extra in his state budget. Brother Jeb has an advantage the President doesn't -- a line item veto. Governor Bush has promised to strike all pork barrel spending in the Florida budget. President Bush is pretty much stuck with whatever Congress gives him. (Miami Herald)
