Budget transparency for thee, but not for me
|
That's apparently the attitude that dominates the Democratic leadership in Congress, judging by the latest conference report on the Senate version of the 2009 budget bill. Earlier this year, Senate GOPers succeeded in adding Sec. 223 requiring that budget resolutions disclose how much the federal debt would increase or decrease if they become law, as well as how much the debt would rise or fall per person and how much of the Social Security surplus would be spent over the period covered by the budget. The budget conference report filed yesterday by Senate and House Democratic leaders, however, has deleted Sec. 223. Weren't these same Members promising back in 2006 that they would conduct the public's business in an "open and honest" manner? Must have been some fine print in that promise regarding the budget! |
