It's Going From Bad to Worse...
Folks, Congress hasn't learned one thing from the elections. As House leaders, John Boehner and Roy Blunt have three....count them, 3...new spending bills on the schedule today. Worse still, the bills will be under suspension of the rules so their passage is highly likely.
As Mark Tapscott writes,
"In other words, the leading guys who just got booted out are suspending the rules to create a "fast track" for approving even more spending and more new federal programs. And Boehner wants to be the new House Minority Leader and Blunt wants to be the Minority Whip!"
Not only is the GOP supporting these new spending programs, but 66 Republicans helped vote down a free trade bill with Vietnam yesterday (the bill would have granted the country "normal trade relations").
Where's the re-energized GOP? Where's the party that is recommitting itself to the principles of limited government? I can't find it anywhere...
