Patty Murray: “For too long, some members of Congress have been unwilling to reach a fair and balanced compromise on deficit reduction.”

We should not have to remind you that using government funding to create or air political ads like the ones that have been running over the last few days is illegal and a shockingly corrupt misuse of taxpayer dollars.

The pocket rescission represented the theft from the American people, plain and simple.
