Well, it's becoming more obvious every day to the American people that this administration was slow to responded in the gulf, and the Democrats still don't have a plan. They don't have a clear plan to contain the sea of oil in the gulf and, remarkably, here on Capitol Hill, Democrats don't even have a plan to contain the sea of red ink in Washington, D.C. Announcing this week, Majority Leader Steny Hoyer confirmed the Democrats' response to runaway Federal spending is to not do a budget. Failing to lead is not leadership. Not doing a budget is not an answer. The Democrats' refusal to write a budget is a shocking abdication of duty and a historic failure of leadership. There has been a lot of talk these days about governing philosophies here on Capitol Hill, but their governing philosophy? Don't govern. This Congress owes the American people a budget, a list of priorities, and an outline of the hard choices that are necessary to put our fiscal house in order. No budget is no answer. ____________________
