QuoteThe key players in Washington are Senator Evan Bayh and 15 Senate Democrats who joined him this year in forming a coalition of moderates. One thing that has distinguished moderate Democrats from the garden variety of the species is heightened concern about fiscal responsibility.


I had some hopes that the crisis would create a political re-alignment but the hijacking of the Tea Party thing pretty much shows me that any protest against government policy eventually just becomes a tool for the party out of power to use and thus rather pointless.
Some of the recent tea parties made a point to not have, or not invite, and to discourage, politicians from attending. Especially ones in Texas where the Repubs have been joining in, the governor especially. Good move I say. My take is that neither party has much room to talk about being better at fiscal responsibility.

Who is Kevin A. Hassett: He served as an economic adviser to the George W. Bush 2004 presidential campaign and as Senator McCain's chief economic adviser during the 2000 presidential primaries. He also served as a senior economic adviser to the McCain 2008 presidential campaign.

Whew I was afraid he was biased.

Both parties love to talk about it though...when they are out of power.

It looks like everything is conspiring to elect Romney President in 2012.

Wow you cannot even afford to repeal the initiatives that are bankrupting you?  How ironic.

Well someone is going to have to get the word out there to encourage voters to vote to repeal initiatives. I'd assume that would cost money.

Can't this be done through facebook and twitter? :P

Everything except reality.

As someone who formerly despised Romney, I wouldn't mind him.

Pretty face to balance out the ticket?
Romney is pretty face enough, especially despite his age.
