YouTube: Rubio Speaks Out

Congressional Republican Tea Party freshmen were elected on vows to cut spending.  They are getting fed up with the short-term CR’s that leaders on both sides of the aisle seem content to pass while wrangling over a spending plan for the last six months of the fiscal year.

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL), a Tea Party-aligned freshman, wrote, "An absurd pattern has clearly developed in Washington.  I did not come to the U.S. Senate to be part of some absurd political theatre."

Rubio joins a short list of Tea Party Senators, including Rand Paul of Kentucky, Jim DeMint of South Carolina and Mike Lee of Utah, who already have expressed their discontent with the stopgap budgets. He said he would "no longer" back short-term budget bills, adding that Congress cannot "nickel-and-dime our way" out of the debt crisis.

In an open letter released Monday, Heritage Action CEO Michael Needham wrote that delaying the CR for three more weeks gives Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid the time he needs to conflate this year's budget with next year's.

"This has always been Senator Reid’s endgame strategy ... blur the lines, confuse the public and substantially weaken conservatives' negotiating hand on both the FY2012 budget and the debt-limit increase. Therefore, we believe conservatives must prevent him from executing this strategy if we are to start moving our country back towards fiscal responsibility," wrote Needham.

The Tea party freshmen in the House and Senate are fed up with the stall tactics.  They went to Washington with a vow and an agenda.  The old hat Republicans and Democrats are stalling and delaying.  Meanwhile America sinks another $4 billion in debt each day.

America let your Representatives and Senators know you want action now.  To stop playing games and save the American economy before it’s too late.
