The
Road To Recovery: The Blue Dog 12-Step Reform Plan to Cure the
President's Addiction to Deficit Spending (February 16, 2005)
Today - just
days after the administration's budget was delivered to Congress
- the Blue Dog Coalition unveiled a new 12-Step Reform Plan to
cure the president's addiction to deficit spending. With deficits
and debt on the rise each year, it is clear that the only way
to get our nation's fiscal house in order is to fundamentally
change the way Congress budgets taxpayer dollars.
