Democrats finally decide to stop spending beyond their means
Congressional Democrats have finally realized that the US doesn't have an unlimited money supply.
-
"The Democrats’ capitulation Wednesday on the total domestic spending level is the latest instance of Bush prevailing on a major policy showdown. Bush and his Senate Republican allies have repeatedly beat back efforts by Democrats to place restrictions on funding for the war in Iraq as well as Democratic attempts to expand funding of children’s health insurance by $35 billion."
-
Everyone gets down on Bush for war spending, but the blame for increased spending should be set squarely at the feet of Congress- Congressional Democrats, more specifically. With the bloated SCHIP bill that was totally beyond the purview of the program's original intent (including adults and the upper-middle class), spending was off the deep end.
-
I'm glad they finally gave up. It seems there's a lot of Democrats "giving up" in Congress these days.
