ATR: Halt Spending of Taxpayer Dollars Until Obama Releases Overspending Numbers
Tuesday, July 21, 2009 2:31 PM
In light of the Administration's recent decision not to release the mid-summer budget update, generally released in July, until later in August, ATR president Grover Norquist sent a letter to members of Congress urging them to suspend all legislative activity that involves appropriating taxpayer dollars until after the Obama Administration sees it fit to release the updated over-spending (aka "deficit") numbers.

This is a joke, right? Does Boehner think we are idiots? I can not think of a better example of why the GOP needs a COMPLETE makeover. The budget is how far north of a *trillion* bucks and this gas-bag thinks he is sounding tough by cutting out 70-some-odd *million*? Congress probably wastes that much in mere seconds.
How gullible & naive are your readers? How about you let us know if/when the GOP ever decides to get serious about cutting spending.
VOTE THE B@$7#RD$ OUT!!!
