| "Some in GOP signal openness" blares the unexpected Washington Post headline. It seems forty Republicans have joined sixty Democrats to sign a letter advising that "all options for mandatory and discretionary spending and revenues must be on the table," a strong hint in support of tax increases. So, a list of the 40 most open-minded, bipartisan Republicans, with moderates and conservatives, must surely include New Jerseyans? No, not one. Frank LoBiondo and all the rest are missing in action again. Honestly, the last year shows LoBiondo wakes up every morning afraid of following Mike Castle into involuntary retirement. It's pretty pathetic after he spent four years in the minority complaining that Republican leaders didn't value moderates enough.
On the other hand, maybe I shouldn't complain. Whatever the Deficit Super Committee recommends would only harm America in the short and long term. |
