Congressman Murphy supported paygo in 2007, what will happen in 2009?

Two years ago, Congressman Chris Murphy spoke of the need for balanced budgets. Not only did he issue this press release on March 29, 2007:

“I am proud to be part of a Congress that has restored sanity to our spending practices in Washington. We can balance the budget, help the middle class, and support government programs that work, and we did it today,” said Murphy...

Congress today approved a budget that will restore fiscal discipline by assuring that any spending increases are offset within the budget, commonly referred to as “pay as you go”.


He repeated such comments at a forum at Elim Park on June 1, 2007. At that time, I complimented him for his remarks and actions on a balanced budget.

As we move forward with talk of trillion dollar deficits, I hope Congressman Murphy continues fighting the fight for balanced budgets.

With all due respect, Tim please watch the scene in Animal House where Otter explains to Flounder the reason his brother's Lincoln was crashed and trashed

Chris Murphy and Nancy Pelosi should tell the voters the same thing.

Murphy is a self-promoting toadie who will do what Pelosi tells him to do. He has been a Leftist since birth and will never live up to "paygo" principlas.
The public does not pay enough attention to the lies these guys tell....or they simply EXPECT politicians to lie these days and just let it pass.
The Stimulus Bill is a monster...almost a TRILLION dollars of BORROWED money. We have lost our minds.
