Burton Op-Ed on Congressional Spending Featured in the Washington Times

Washington, D.C. – Rep. Dan Burton (R-IN-05) Senior Member of the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform authored an op-ed on the profligate spending of the Democratic controlled congress that appeared in the Washington Times. 

Excerpt:

“In contrast, Democratic congressional leaders are either deaf to the shouts of the American people or arrogant and drunk with power because they clearly are not learning from their mistakes. Instead, they continue to recklessly spend taxpayers' money. Last week, Speaker Nancy Pelosi jammed through the House a full-year spending resolution - known as a continuing resolution (CR) that does nothing to reverse the spending trend. On the contrary, the resolution continues the unsustainable high rate of spending passed by the Democratic majority last year and enshrines into law the higher federal agency budgets that have been bolstered by unnecessary, ineffective and allegedly temporary stimulus dollars.”
