The Washington Examiner: on Budget & Economy


Tim Kaine: Tea Party's reckless economic policies create uncertainty

Tea Party activist Jamie Radtke hit the former one-term senator for voting to add an expensive prescription drug program to Medicare and backing No Child Left Behind, two initiatives sought by Republican President George W. Bush. "Tim Kaine will not run to the right of me on spending," Radtke said, subtly criticizing the budgets Allen voted for during his previous Senate term.

Kaine's campaign responded to the repeated criticism following the debate. "Virginia voters heard the Tea Party contenders push reckless economic policies that would damage Virginia's economy, create more uncertainty for our businesses, and make our nation less globally competitive," a Kaine spokeswoman said.

Scott Parkinson: Opposing balanced budget amendment is irresponsible

It is also imperative for Washington to responsibly address the debt crisis that has resulted in a $33 trillion national debt. The apprehension to enact a balanced budget amendment to the Constitution is irresponsible and mind-boggling. If a family must live within a budget, so must the government. In 2024, American voters will make a choice between a radical ideology and kitchen table issues such as the costs of food, gas, and housing.
