More Sessions

Despite Sessions (through Domenici) calling out the Dems on spending and taxes, he minced no words for his fellow Republicans who keep spending more money. Noting that President Bush had proposed savings of $75 billion (5-years) in the RATE OF GROWTH of entitlements (set to grow at 8% a year even as inflation runs only 3% (our quick table math — I welcome readers to double-check this, because I haven’t — is that just a 6% avg hike for five years rather than 8%, which is surely not too draconian, would yield the $75 billion savings), Sessions lamented that the Senate Budget COmmittee plan approved yesterday called for not a red cent of entitlement savings. Sessions’ comment on this development: “Some people think that if we have a middle-of-the-road, milquetoast budget that avoids controversy, we’ll somehow avoid political harm, but I say it’s just the opposite. We’ll kill the enthusiasm of our supporters; we will likely not only NOT gain, but we’ll lose potentially” because of letting down the fiscally conservative GOP base.

“We’ve got tohonor the voters who got us here,” Sessions added.

Well, I say: Good for Sessions. Here’s hoping the milquetoast Republicans get the message!!!
