Do the Blue Dogs care about balanced budgets? Do they oppose wasteful spending? Are they the taxpayer’s best friend, the conscience of the Congress, and the moderates who craft bipartisan solutions? Today is the day to prove it. If they help Congressional leaders pass this massive spending bill with no scrutiny, then they don’t really serve any purpose. And they’ll be reminded of it over and over again before the next election.
All deficit hawks—Democrat or Republican—need to oppose this compromise bill on the grounds that it punishes our children and grandchildren with too much debt.
UPDATE: Jim Geraghty reports that Rep. Allen Boyd already has a primary challenger.
