No Loss for Words

While I was watching the news Thursday morning, I listened to Senator Orin Hatch from Utah as he was being interviewed by one of the networks.  He sounded a lot like a “Tea Party” Senator agreeing with many of the freshman members of the House of Representatives.  Coming from Senator Hatch, that was quite a stand.

If the more timid members of the House majority were wondering how they should act when the next vote comes up for the Continuing Resolution that keeps the government open for business, Senator Hatch gave them a cue.  Unless you demand meaningful cuts to the budget by writing them into the bill you send to the Senate, you won’t even get the Democrats to vote on them.
