From Big Government:
2:04 PM (3 hours ago)Budget Showdown: Democrats Show Unrighteous Indignationfrom Big Government by Dr. Susan Berry
First, we all know that Republicans, as well as Democrats, have spent a lot of our money. However, it seems the GOP is slowly trying to turn the ship around, with the help of continued pressure from grass-roots conservatives represented by the new freshmen.
But Democrats? After refusing to follow through with their constitutional responsibility to pass a budget last year, many of them have suddenly become indignant that their pet programs may get cut. In short, the nation’s fiscal plight is not seeping in.
Democrats are being dragged, kicking and screaming, to the cutting trough as they still attempt to convince unthinking Americans that Planned Parenthood doesn’t perform abortions at taxpayer expense, and that, if Planned Parenthood is defunded, women will die, or, as Rep. Louise Slaughter says, be “killed” by Republicans.
In this budget showdown theater, the Republicans clearly have had their share of problems, but the liberal Democrats are acting like bratty teens who have maxed out their parents’ credit card and are whining that the fact that the card has been shredded is denying their “freedom.”
What is good about this- and, admittedly, it’s hard to find anything good- is that Americans across the nation are seeing Washington politicians for who they really are. Currently, we are talking about a painfully small amount of money in comparison to our deficit. What will happen when we start talking about the really big money and the debt ceiling?
All the more reason that, In 2012, let’s finally keep the kids at home and send real adults to Washington.
