Chabot

Republican Steve Chabot, who lost his last election to represent Ohio's 1st district, must really not like being unemployed.  Chabot's strong loyalty to President George W. Bush, was even rewarded with a special visit by Bush in 2007 for voting not to override Bush's veto on SCHIP.


Chabot has been wrong on many things including his support for the Bush tax cuts.
Here is a quote by Steve Chabot (BrainyQuote):

Even with not having a balanced budget at this time, I support tax cuts. That will help limit spending.

We know that Chabot was very wrong about those tax cuts----they didn't help limit spending.

Theoffthechartsblog had this:

....key policies enacted in the Bush Administration will continue to harm the budget outlook throughout the next decade. For instance, the Bush tax cuts and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan will account for nearly $7 trillion in deficits in 2009-2019.


Rep. Boehner and others are wrong to let the Bush Administration off the hook.  If we hadn’t enacted unaffordable tax cuts, fought two wars on borrowed money, and created an expensive new drug benefit as part of Medicare without paying for it, we’d be in much better shape.

Chabot was needs to be asked why he continued to support Bush's policies when, in reality, those policies hurt a lot of people and caused economic problems.
