As a yellow dog Dem, I'm not the biggest fan of the blue dogs, but they have their heads screwed on right, especially when it comes to fiscal affairs and this is the latest example. It's about time that a group of Dems got up, said "this is idiotic" and made a plea for fiscal sanity. With projections of $6 trillion surpluses, it's difficult to keep everyone's hands out of the cookie jar (even though I still think Bush's first round of tax cuts was idiotic, even if it was politically difficult to fight), but now that deficits are back, someone has to draw the line. So three cheers for the blue dogs! I just hope they keep fighting strong.
