Old Dogs, Old Tricks

Open up the window
Let some air into this room
I think I'm almost chokin'
On the smell of stale perfume
--Three Dog Night

Republican Senator Mitch McConnell (KY) demonstrated his Big Government roots with his laughable proposal for raising the debt ceiling yesterday. Surely Mr McConnell is aware that what he is proposing is clearly unconstitutional.

Perhaps that is why Democrats are warm to the idea.

McConnell's proposal is a perfect example of Congressional willingness to abdicate Constitutional responsibilities for calculated political gain.

It's worked in the past, which is prolly why this old dog has resorted to old tricks.

Unfortunately for Mr McConnell and other old dogs, the public is increasingly more engaged in the issues. Last November the people sent new elects were sent to DC to reverse our course on spending and debt.
