Morning Examiner: Dems selective spending outrage

When House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan, R-Wis., passed his budget this March, Senate Democrats screamed bloody murder about the fact that it spent $19 billion less than the Budget Control Act that passed last August did.

“This is outrageous and deeply disappointing. House Republicans are reneging on a deal their own speaker shook on less than eight months ago,” Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., said. “Our Republican friends now seem to be walking away from these limits, even though they agreed to them just several months ago,” Senate Budget Committee Chairman Kent Conrad, D-N.D., added.
