Bunning is a senator and not a representative, which is a good thing. As a representative, and in accordance with his courageously principled stand against deficit spending, Bunning would have had to vote against every emergency war supplemental bill for the troops in Iraq and Af/Pak since 2003. Those war supplementals are debt-only, never deficit-neutral.

All defense spending bills go through the Senate as well. Furthermore, Senator Bunning has served on both the Armed Services Committee and the Veterans Affairs Committee where he would have voted on hundreds of pieces of legislation.

Bunning has always been a strong fiscal conservative. Do a bit of research on his debates against Greenspan and Bernake regarding fiscal policy.
