Isn’t the GOP the Party of Fiscal Responsibility

June 16, 2008

Not so, according to this Dispatch article.  As a Clinton democrat, I admit that I am new to the party and still have some Republican leanings.  I do think it is absolutely imperative that we balance our budget with regards to all levels of government.

Both parties in the state of Ohio are attempting to spend more money from the rainy-day fund.

On Thursday, the governor vetoed a section of the $1.6 billion economic-stimulus bill that would take $200 million from those emergency reserves. He was concerned about setting a precedent of spending rainy-day money for new projects instead of stabilizing the budget, spokesman Keith Dailey said.

Why can’t the parties work together to find solutions to the many problems that we have in this state without constantly throwing money at them and doing little to actually fixing them?
