Over in the House, Republican Study Committee chairman Tom Price comes to Bunning’s defense — as other Republicans have today — saying in a statement that “what’s remarkable is the ease with which Senate Democrats reject offers to actually pay for new spending. Those who vilify an objection to further drowning future generations in massive debt have clearly not heard the American people. While it may be a foreign concept inside the beltway, Americans don’t accept the notion that we can continue to spend more than we take in.”
