Senator Brown Hits Back On White House Spending Freeze
Brian Beutler | January 26, 2010

Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH) isn't mincing words about the White House's push to freeze domestic discretionary spending. The Ohio progressive took direct aim today at the idea and its supporters, who he suggested are largely the reason the country faces such major fiscal imbalances in the first place.

"I don't think much of it," Brown told reporters.

Start with this: The people who have been most outspoken about debt are the people most responsible for it.... The people, as I said, who have been most outspoken against the budget deficit have been those that voted for the Iraq war, and charged it to our kids, those who voted for the giveaway to the drug and insurance industry in 2003 and charged it to our kids, and those who voted who tax cuts for the rich and charged it to our kids, and those who ignored infrastructure needs in this country for a decade and charged that to our kids. And they come and they're screaming the loudest about the balanced budget. And that disturbs me.

16. Well, it it's any comfort...

every time in the run-up to that election that I read headlines on DU saying 'Brown ahead in polls' or similar, I would think 'Oh good, Gordon Brown is finally making gains against the Tories', and then be really disappointed when I opened the thread!
