Well first of all, just who was it that passed the pay-go legislation in the first place? I hate to burst your bubbles, but this legislation costs $34 million dollars, and that $34 billion will come straight from China.

I also want to point out this little gem from BO when he was passing that legislation: ""Congress can only spend a dollar if it saves a dollar elsewhere." Then, upon passage of a previous jobless benefits extension, Obama had this to say: "It is fully paid for, and therefore is fiscally responsible.""

Wouldn't that mean, then, that since this legislation is not "fully paid for," that it is not "fiscally responsible"?

Democrats are only doing this to score cheap political points - at some point, benefits have to end.
