A New Star Enters the House Stage Right

Looks like there could be a new conservative star in the House. While most Republicans were apologetic about the budget, saying they had to make hard choices and were forced to prioritize, freshman Rep. Ritch Workman, R-Melbourne, proudly stressed his fiscal conservatism.

In response to comments about the Senates budget and the governors budget being larger than the House proposal, Workman was not apologetic at all. He said that while it may be the smallest proposal, it was still too large.

We did not go far enough, he said. We cannot tax and spend our way out of this recession.

Workman said that if the majority had listened to all the proposals from the Democrats, the budget would have been over $100 billion.

We need to continue to reduce the footprint from the back and throat and necks of the Florida taxpayers, Workman said to heavy applause from the Republicans.
