On the recordJanuary 25, 2011
A clear pattern has emerged with respect to Democratic rhetoric on the budget. They speak loudly about deficit reduction, while continuing to write checks that this Nation cannot cash. Consider the last debt limit increase bill, which included the much ballyhooed statutory pay-go scheme. My friends on the other side speak of it frequently. But they have also been the most frequent violators of both the spirit and letter of statutory pay-go. The Senate Republican Policy Committee analyzed all of the spending offsets and other budget restraints rejected since statutory pay-go was adopted.
