Democrats are finding more excuses to ignore the promise they made when they took over Congress that they wouldn’t pass laws increasing the budget deficit.
Promise? What Promise?
Democrats say a six-month extension of jobless benefits will stimulate the moribund economy and they characterize the new college aid for veterans as a war-related cost.
But they come on the heels of tossing out their fiscal responsibility rules for a $168 billion economic rescue package of tax rebates for most Americans three months ago and a $50 billion measure two months earlier rescuing some 20 million middle-class taxpayers from an average $2,000 in higher taxes.
Deficit hawks in both parties worry that the stimulus bill opened the door to further deficit-swelling legislation. They view the rule ” dubbed “PAYGO” in inside-the-Beltway slang for pay-as-you-go ” as a key bulwark against Congress’ propensity to spend outside its means.
So welfare stimulates the economy? Really? That is about as intelligent as allowing the Teamsters to police themselves.
