Rep. Flake (R-AZ6) scolds Republicans on fiscal management

Rep. Jeff Flake (R-AZ6) comments on his party's drug plan:

"This prescription drug benefit is going to eat us alive," says Rep. Jeff Flake, an Arizona Republican. "It makes you wonder where your party has gone. Thirty million seniors are now more dependent on the government."

And on the fiscal irresponsibility of the recent Republican-led borrow-and-spend bill:

Last week, Bush made his most direct veto threat yet on the spending bill. "If he doesn't carry through, you might as well just throw the gates wide open to the Treasury," Flake says. "We'll be in the minority in November."
