REPUBLICAN BUDGET PLAN
Labor Spot Attacks G.O.P.’s Attacks
By Sarah Wheaton NY Times
Republicans have been attacking the White House’s proposed budget, consistently saying that it “spends too much. It taxes too much. And it borrows too much.”
But the G.O.P. has not offered its own alternative proposal for the Democrats to attack. So the Democrats and their allies are attacking, well, nothing.
Americans United for Change, the labor coalition, has a new ad to run on national cable and on some stations in Washington, running Sunday through Tuesday.
THE PARTY OF NO
REPUBLICAN BUDGET PLAN - "CRICKETS"
The Times’s Carl Hulse notes today that there is disagreement among Republican ranks about whether they should be offering their own alternative spending measure. Even though it would have no chance of getting anywhere in Congress, it could help the G.O.P. avoid being characterized as the “Party of No.”
