On a 50-50 vote yesterday the US Senate opted to take another bold move toward potentially calamitous deficits by refusing to go back on the PAYGO system. Senators Jeffords, Chafee, Voinovich, Snowe, McCain and Collins joined all 44 Democrats in supporting a return to the system, but the rest of the Republicans opted to continue on their tax cuts crusade, stratospheric deficits be damned.
It's at times like this that I just can't get over the fact that the people of Kentucky sent Jim Bunning back to the Senate. Dan Mongiardo came so close.
