I keep hearing about fiscal conservatives from our esteemed talk radio hosts and columnists, but I challenge them to name names. Who EXACTLY are they talking about?

Try the National Taxpayers Union.

They rate Senators and Representatives based on how often they vote against big spending.

Some people rage and rage against government and Washington all the time.

I don't. I'm prepared to entertain the possibility that there are some things that Washington can do.

But one can't be too naive about these things.

Something that sounds like a "good idea" may turn out to produce a real mess.

Some things goverment can only muck up -- however "well-intentioned" the politicians claim to be.

I don't think Huck quite gets that. He wants to get government involved in matters that it can only make a mess of.

Your response proves my point. About 10 Senators TOTAL qualify for a phony A rating with a 70% score. I am sure the numbers are worse since 2005, the last year listed.
