Congressman Sensenbrenner Hits Speaker Huebsch For Budget Repair Bill

I covered this in my convention post, but I thought it deserved its own post.

This is the quote from Sensenbrenner’s speech in which he hammered Republican Speaker Mike Huebsch for the budget repair bill.

“Unfortunately, Speaker Huebsch decided to push it [the budget repair bill] through the Assembly.  And he did so in a manner which does not fix the problems of overtaxing, and replaces transportation fees with more state borrowing - exactly the same move which helped destroy the Republican brand.  Everyone can see this is a political shell game that simply postpones the hard decisions. 

Sometimes, leadership consists of saying “NO” to bad policies, rather than going along to get along.”

As usual, Sensenbrenner is 100% correct.  Good for him for trying to teach the Republican leadership what being a leader looks like. 

Incedentially, my spell checker wants to change “Sensenbrenner’s” to “Sensibleness.”  Works for me
