In tough economic times, Ohio families are living under tight budgets, fighting to make ends meet. But that's not the case in Washington, with record spending and record deficits and debt - a huge stimulus bill and an even bigger healthcare bill. And Ohio is losing, because more spending has meant not just bigger deficits, but fewer jobs for us.
Unfortunately, Washington Democrats aren't playing by the same rules as you and me. Not only do they refuse to try to balance the budget, recently they quietly announced they don't even plan to try to pass a budget this year, for the first time since the budget rules were set 35 years ago. Unbelievable. They won't even attempt to establish a budget for the federal government that says how our tax dollars will be spent. They should be ashamed of themselves.
Please help me send a clear message to Washington. Let's demand that leaders of Congress - Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid - introduce and pass a long-term, budget blueprint now.
