Senate OKs DeMint's Fairness Doctrine Ban
The Senate on Thursday overwhelmingly approved an amendment banning reinstatement of the so-called "Fairness Doctrine" that would threaten conservative talk radio.
Republican Sen. Jim DeMint of South Carolina attached the amendment, called the Broadcaster Freedom Act, to a bill giving the District of Columbia a voting representative in the House. It passed by a wide margin of 87-to-11....
...DeMint said: "We need to make it a law that the FCC or this Congress cannot implement any aspect of the Fairness Doctrine."

Comparing their "deficit increases" with the current administrations are not even comparable. How long has Obama been in office and run up a trillion dollar plus bill? Furthermore, how many people will actually see the benefit of this spending other than frisbee golf players?
