Is Jim Bunning a hero or goat?

My two cents: I am amazed that he is the lone voice saying "how are we going to pay for that?"
Remember, democrats are the ones that professed "pay-as-you-go" legislation. Even his own party in his own state has alienated him.
He's only stepping out because he's not running for reelection. Think about it. We have to manage our budgets in the household. Our localities, our cities, our counties, our states, our local businesses have to manage our budgets. We can't operate in deficits year after year. Why can the federal government?
Do you think he'd be the only one if others didn't have to worry about getting reelected?
