Newsnm note - (Spence) With the federal government borrowing more than $2,000 each and every month for every taxpaying couple in the country, it is easy for every elected official sent to Washington to "SAY" they are for fixing the borrowing insanity. Talk is cheap and there are no elected officials who are more generous with cheap talk than U.S. House members Martin Heinrich and Ben Ray Lujan of New Mexico. These men consistently offer nothing but NO votes on spending cuts and hypocritical criticism of all efforts to reign in the insanity. We know of no proposal from either one of these Congressmen that would actually stop the federal government from continuing to borrow insanely on our behalf. Yet both of these men hold themselves up as the "defenders" of working families and seniors.
The Nation - The House on Friday approved a fiscal year 2012 budget resolution from Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) that seeks to drastically limit government spending next year and in years to follow. But the vote on the measure — which imposes $5.8 trillion in spending cuts over the next decade — came after a clear sign that at least half of the Republican Caucus supports even tougher spending cuts. The final tally was 235-193, with four Republicans opposing it.

They were Reps. Ron Paul (Texas), Denny Rehberg (Mont.), Walter Jones (N.C.) and David McKinley (W.Va.). Rehberg, the appropriator in charge of health spending, is running for Montana's Senate seat. Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) said listening sessions with Republican members made it the strongest vote of the year. "This is the process we should follow on all votes," he said. Every Democrat voted "no." Read full story here: News New Mexico
