Republican House Leadership Slams Republican Senate
House Leadership Slams Senate...
House Speaker Dennis Hastert and Maj. Leader John Boehner are putting the screws to their own party's alleged profligacy in a blistering statement issued jointly this a.m.


"The Senate emergency spending bill represents a huge spending spree, but the big losers will be the American taxpayers stuck with the tab. President Bush requested $92 billion for the War on Terror and some hurricane spending. The House used fiscal restraint and stayed within the President's request for true emergency spending. We support the President's threat to veto the wayward spending bill. The American people don't deserve a special interest shopping cart disguised as a supplemental."

Note that the statement doesn't blame Dems for obstruction. It blames the Senate....
