Pay-No
Keep reaching across the aisle guys.
Democrats and the media should hold to account the recklessness and fecklessness of Congressional Republicans. Of course, it's a given that neither will.
It should be remembered -- and Obama should use his bully pulpit to make this clear -- that for eight years Republicans decided that governing was hard and instead went on a joy ride: an unfunded mandate on education; two wars that were never accounted for in a budget; a medicare prescription drug plan that was -- you guessed it -- unfunded.
Instead, it's the Democrats who are accused of driving up the deficit and "stealing our children's future."
The Pay-Go vote makes it clear that it's obstruction, not governing, that is close to Republicans' hearts. And if Democrats won't speak up about this, Americans will simply continue to be angrily ignorant.
The Senate took a vote on requiring Congress not to pass legislation that it can't pay for. All 40 Republicans voted no.
