Can't go away fast enough:
Supporters of that stimulus strategy say the short term borrowing pales relative to the economic free-fall that would result if Congress sat on its hands. But Gregg disagrees.
"When the Congress is on vacation, you're actually a little safer than when we're in session," he said Friday. "We're just spending too much. We've got to slow the spending down if we're going to get this government under control."
Gregg has at least one admirer. Van Susteren likened the New Hampshire Republican to a modern-day Cassandra. "When all is said and done," she said, "don't blame Senator Gregg because [he's] been saying this for quite some time."
I've read Cassandra, Greta. I've taught Cassandra. Senator Gregg, you are no Cassandra. More Agamemnon, really:

All those brown colors, and a little bit of the blue, were made possible with the key support of someone named Judd Gregg. Thanks to Judd Gregg's tax cuts for the wealthiest, and his support for a war that never needed to happen, your children will be paying for his profligacy for years to come.
