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.

Have the DemokRats done even one thing they promised their nutroot base? Other than blame Bush, have they accomplished anything?
