In a statement provided exclusively to The Daily Caller, erstwhile Republican presidential candidate and former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman lauded the House Republicans’ announcement that they would vote on a bill tying the salaries of members of Congress to passing a budget.

House Republican leadership announced earlier Friday at their retreat in Williamsburg, Va. that the House would vote next week to raise the debt ceiling for three months, in a bill that would also contain a provision that if Congress did not pass a budget, members would not get paid

In adopting ‘No Budget No Pay’ the House Republicans have taken a great step towards starting to hold politicians accountable for their unwilling to make decisions,” Huntsman said of the plan. “Every American develops a budget they have to live within, and it’s time for our politicians to do the same or find other employment. Incentives matter. Adding a cost to kicking the can down the road is a terrific first step towards a more functional Washington.”

I might have to re-think my opinion on Jon Huntsman. Now, if they would just stick to what they say they're going to do and actually do it.

Huntsman wasn't as bad as he was made out to be.

Huntsman, another self appointed spokesman, another re run.

He would have been a far better choice than half the "real conservatives" who had zero chance of winning. He at least had some actual governing experience, and from the stats in Utah, he did a decent job.

So what if he could speak Mandarin Chinese.
