Too much common sense? From The Washington Post:

After a week of preemptive attacks on a possible IMF bailout of Greece, Rep. Mike Pence (R-Ind.) introduces the European Bailout Protection Act, aimed at preventing taxpayer dollars from going to a rescue plan.

“This legislation would require that countries like Greece cut spending and put their own fiscal house in order,” says Pence, backed up by other members of the House GOP, “instead of looking to the United States for a bailout. We face record unemployment and a debt crisis of our own, and American taxpayers should not be forced to bear the risk for nations that have avoided making tough choices.”

Now if only we could create bills to curtail further bailouts and spending for banks, all lending institutions and corporations. Let them fail where they may.

And if only we could provide tax cuts for small businesses and American families.

But no; we can’t have that.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch:

– Still, the Euro tanks
– The Bank of England says, US, you’re to follow the Grecian model: in fact, you’re next
– Portugal will institute a “Crisis Tax“
– Spaniards to strike over cuts

The Demorats learn absolutely nothing from history. They are deaf, dumb, blind, and possessed of Blissful Ignorance in combination with Willful Neglect.
