End cycle of irresponsibility

Recent Spokesman articles (“Budget puts laws in limbo,” June 1, and “State counts on Medicaid boost,” June 3) further expose our state’s Democratic supermajority as being irresponsible lawmakers that create programs they can’t fund, programs they won’t eliminate, and as politicians that are dependent on federal handouts that probably won’t be delivered.

Is this the same financial strategy that working families utilize? Only if they want to go broke.

The Democratic machine only represents and rewards special interest groups (unions, welfare recipients, public employees) that fund their campaigns and help perpetuate their incompetency and outright dishonesty.

The children of illegal aliens still qualify for resident tuition at Washington State University, the University of Washington, Eastern Washington University and other state colleges thanks to our Democratic lawmakers. Parents, remember this as you continue to write those ever-increasing tuition checks.

Let’s end this story on a positive note and this fall elect honest and competent Republicans like Michael Baumgartner (6th District Senate) and John Ahern (6th District Representative, Position 2) to represent us, the silent majority of taxpayers and responsible citizens.
