Our View: DFRer's outrage: Furious nothings
"What’s more shocking than the outrage Democratic lawmakers around Minnesota expressed when Gov. Tim Pawlenty made his “unallotments” to the state budget?"
"The answer: Their surprise that Pawlenty actually made cuts to things like social services, local government aid, K-12 education and higher education.
But Pawlenty did everything but smoke signal and telegraph what he was going to do long before the session ended in infamy and shame when the DFL-controlled Legislature decided to abdicate its responsibility and not pass a balanced budget, leaving state government’s future in one lame-duck governor’s hands."
The Heritage Foundation rebuts The Congresses take on health Care Reform
"This Monday, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) delivered a major dose of reality to Capitol Hill, affixing a $1 trillion price tag to the Kennedy-Dodd health care plan. Supporters of the Kennedy-Dodd approach then complained that the CBO only scored an incomplete version of the bill and Dodd-Kennedy staffers “were scrambling to give the CBO something closer to the final legislation.” By their own admission, their legislation is incomplete; you would think that would give Dodd-Kennedy supporters pause before pushing the bill through committee."
