Appleton—For the first time since the Congressional Budget Act was passed in 1974, House Democrats are announced that they will not be passing an annual budget resolution in 2010.

“Steve Kagen – who votes with his Democrat Party 98.2 percent of the time – is choosing to mislead the people of northeast Wisconsin because he is afraid to show them the true cost of his reckless agenda,” said state Representative Roger Roth, candidate for Congress in Wisconsin’s 8th District, before a group of Appleton voters.

By not passing a budget resolution, Democrats in Congress are ignoring the effects our record $13 trillion debt will have past 2010, choosing to instead blindly endorse the President’s so called “Deficit Reduction Commission” plan, which is conveniently scheduled for release after Election Day.

“Unless we elect leaders with the courage to stand up for what’s right and enact sensible fiscal policy like a balanced budget amendment, Steve Kagen and the Democrats are going to continue to circumvent the rules in order to feed their addiction to spending,” said Roth.
