Republicans Unanimously Vote Against Fiscal Responsibility

By Dave

Hypocrisy truly knows no bounds.

Today the Senate voted 60-40 to enact PAYGO rules. These rules are among the first steps needed to force fiscal discipline on the government and they are responsible for the budget surpluses inherited by the Bush Administration in 2000. But EVERY SINGLE Republican voted against it. Not one Republican Senator voted yes. Not Olympia Snowe, not John McCain, not Susan Collins, not one. This is truly the Party of No.

For the last decade, Republicans have worked tirelessly to put this country into debt and financial ruin. They destroyed the country's budget with cut taxes for the wealthy, giant unfunded entitlement programs, and two wars. Yet they have the audacity to insist that they are the Party of Fiscal responsibility, despite all evidence to the contrary.

Wake up, people. Let know one ever insist to me that Congressional Republicans have ideas or favor deficit reduction. They couldn't care less about the deficit. Today's vote proves it. These people are power hungry narcissists who have no interest in making government more efficient or more productive. They just want the power. They will say or do anything to get it.
