I don't often say nice things about the President's policies. However, I think his recently proposed line-item veto is a good idea. While the tool could be used for political reasons, such as only canceling appropriations to the district represented by an opposing congressman, hopefully it can also be used to allow the President to demonstrate fiscal conservatism to which he purportedly adheres, canceling undue budgetary earmarks as did the previous President until the proposal's predecessor was purloined by the Supreme Court.
