Kudlow Slams Republican Spenders

Larry Kudlow had sharp words for U.S. Senators in his post this morning. Democrats are expected to spend our tax dollars wastefully; Republicans are not.

Senator Saxby Chambliss of Georgia is whittling down the farm subsidy cuts, which are corporate welfare and agriculture welfare queens. Minnesota Senator Norman Coleman is trying to stop more corporate welfare cuts, by preserving community development block grants. Oregon Senator Gordon Smith is preventing Medicaid cuts, which represent wasteful overspending, not real health services. This makes my blood boil.

Supply-side tax cuts have done their job by growing the economy and throwing off 10 percent increases in tax collections. But the Republican Senate is not doing its job to hold back the budget, which is still growing at 7 percent.

Just another reason why I always support tax cuts. The only way the government can hold back spending is by us not giving our money to it in the first place.
