Abstract:
Congress, throughout the budget summit process, has been demonstrating that it will not take the lead in solving the budget crisis. George Bush thus must lead. He must be willing to confront Congress by giving lawmakers a choice: the Four Percent Solution or a sequester. Congress has everything to lose if it forces a sequester. All the cards are in the President’s hands.
