McCain concerned about reckless budgets; if only he had a vote in Congress
April 16, 2007
From the New York Times, “McCain Says Fellow Republicans Spent Too Much While Running Congress“.
And I agree; Republicans don’t know how to manage a budget. If only McCain had an opportunity to make a difference at the time. His votes on each of President Bush’s budgets, as written by a Republican-controlled Congress:
McCain on FY 2007 budget vote: Yes (passed 51-49)
McCain on FY 2006 budget vote: Yes (passed 51-49)
McCain on FY 2005 budget vote: Yes (passed 51-45)
McCain on FY 2004 budget vote: No (passed 51-50) What a maverick!
McCain on FY 2003 budget vote: Yes (passed 69-29)
McCain on FY 2002 budget vote: Yes (passed 53-47)
