Recently elected GOP governors slam Washington during visit to U.S. Capitol

[Geee]

Daily Caller:

Washington, D.C. may have its flaws, but after listening to the Republican governors-elect who visited the city this week, you’d think the place was built by the decedents of displaced exiles from Sodom and Gomorrah.

Speaker-in-waiting Rep. John Boehner of Ohio invited about a dozen of the newly elected governors to the U.S. Capitol building Wednesday, and when given the chance, they gave the city on the Potomac a good old-fashioned tongue lashing.

“Our children are being held hostage,” said a fiery Ohio governor-elect John Kasich in reference to the expanding federal debt. “If we have to be responsible and balance our books, they better get their books in order in Washington.”

Whether it be the health care law, the stimulus, or the possibility that federal tax rates will spike in 2011, these governors-to-be unloaded round after round on the federal government — and the Washington culture that enabled it like a bartender who doesn’t know when to tell the drunk to call it a night.

According to these future governors, the keys should have been taken away a long time ago.
