When Rep. Mike Pence (R-IN) was on Chris Matthews’ show the other night, he refused to answer what he’d cut out the federal budget. Matthews played clips of elitist Sens. John Cornyn (R-TX) and Jeff Sessions (R-AL) too, neither of which could name a cut they wanted either. All they had to say was, “blah, blah, blah … “

Now they tell us:
Congressional Budget Office estimates released Tuesday predict the health care overhaul will likely cost about $115 billion more in discretionary spending over ten years than the original cost projections.
The additional spending — if approved over the years by Congress — would bring the total estimated cost of the overhaul to over $1 trillion.
However, this is not surprising.

If this wasn’t such a serious issue, it would be funny.
Michigan’s other dynamic duo in Washington (in the House Of Rep’s) Mark “I voted for the flop stimulus bill” and Gary “I thought I was voting for a jobs bill” Peters are now trying to position themselves as deficit hawks. Even the Detroit News isn’t buying this one. Via the aforementioned DetNews:
The press releases that popped into my e-mail this week were hoots. U.S. Reps. Mark Schauer and Gary Peters defiantly announced they had cast their votes against House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s request to raise the federal debt ceiling by $2 trillion.What the releases conveniently neglected to mention is that before the Michigan Democrats voted against raising the debt ceiling, they voted for the new spending that made lifting the limit necessary.
Schauer and Peters have voted lock step with Pelosi and the liberal House leadership since unseating Republican incumbents in 2008.
They’re suddenly posing as deficit hawks because of growing concern that the most vulnerable Democrats — those like Schauer and Peters who were elected from traditionally conservative districts in the anti-Republican wave of the past two elections — will be punished by voters angry about the massive expansion of government.
Pelosi and the Democrats will go to great lengths to protect Peters and Schauer, AKA dependable rubber stamp votes for the big government Democrat agenda.
LANSING – Governor Jennifer M. Granholm tonight issued the following statement on passage of the health care reform legislation by the U.S. House of Representatives: “The passage of health care reform is historic for Michigan. After decades of failed attempts, this legislation will give Michigan families and businesses more control over their own health care, will give them the security and stability that come with health care coverage, and will reduce overall health care costs. No state has needed reform more than Michigan, and I applaud and thank the members of our congressional delegation who voted for this legislation.”via michigan.gov’nuff said…
