MANCHESTER, New Hampshire (CNN) — President Bush on Wednesday talked up his budget on a trip to New Hampshire, hours before signing a bill he says is a major step toward cutting the nation’s deficit in half by 2009.
The president said his fiscal year 2007 budget will promote economic growth by keeping taxes low, will restrain government spending and will eliminate federal programs that don’t produce results.
"I look behind the numbers and see the quality-of-life issues," Bush told a gathering of the Business and Industry Association.
