Costello: Minnick Is Best Congress R
What Walter Minnick did is what Republicans should have done. He didn't just whine about the current bill. He offered a reasonable alternative to the Pelosi-Reid-Obama boondoggle. In this fearful environment nurtured by Obama and the news media, doing nothing is not going to sell. And since Republicans seem to lack the imagination to come up with something on their own, they should have gotten onboard with Minnick. Minnick's bill is much, much smaller and is frontloaded so that it might influence the economy. It actually spends more money this year than the Obama boondoggle. In addition, Minnick's proposal has a trigger that will shut down spending should the economy show signs of growth/Michael Costello, Red County. More here.
Question: Do you agree or disagree with this opening statement of Costello: "Probably nothing speaks to the sorry state of the Republican Party than the fact that Idaho's Walter Minnick might be the smartest Republican in Congress"?
