Suddenly House Republicans are so panicked about their position as fiscally irresponsible that they are now rejecting necessary expenditures - oh, like
emergency funding to combat the Bird Flu.
Thanks guys. It's important we cut taxes for the rich, spend billions a week in Iraq, support boondoggle transportation bills, but fight a potential pandemic that could kill hundreds of thousands and put a serious damper in our economy? Oh not, THAT has to be off-set by spending cuts elsewhere.
Shmucks.
