Speaking to the Virginia Rural Summit today, Senator Mark Warner said “We’re at (a) moment of crisis…We’re not going to solve them with government spending,” [Richmond Times Dispatch [2]]
This would be the same Mark Warner who Voted YES on $192B additional anti-recession stimulus spending. [Omnibus Appropriations Act Amendment; Bill H.R. 3357 ; vote number 2009-S254 on Jul 30, 2009]
The same Mark Warner who Voted YES on additional $825 billion for economic recovery package. [American Recovery and Reinvestment Act; Bill H.R.1 ; vote number 2009-S061 on Feb 10, 2009]
And the same Mark Warner who signed into law the biggest single tax increase in the history of the Commonwealth of Virginia.
We’re glad to hear the Senator preach a little fiscal sanity.
But it seems his conversion is a day late and a few billion dollars short.
