That may be understandable, given the country's current political make-up, but maybe they should have tried harder. NPR did manage to find Douglas Holtz-Eakin, John McCain's chief economic advisor, and Maya Macguineas, the president of Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, but no Democrats. Maybe if they start looking now they can find a Democrat for the next budget story.
