(how big of a hypocrite am i? thiiiiis big)Republican members of Congress voted unanimously against the Recovery Act last year. Ever since, they have been whining about "out of control" spending, even though the out-of-control part started, undeniably, on their watch.
No! No! Don't spend away our children's future!
No! No! Don't make us take that dirty government money!
What's that? A ribbon cutting? A photo op? Count us in!
The White House recently released a very interesting list including the following tidbits:
John Boehner (R-Ohio) issued a statement on his Web site that he was "pleased that federal officials have stepped in" to order Ohio to use its stimulus funds for "shovel-ready" construction projects.
Eric Cantor (R -Va) hosted a job fair to demonstrate how he — and not the Obama administration — is working on ‘long-term solutions that will put Virginia businesses and Virginia workers back on the path to financial stability.’ Nearly half of the 30 organizations on hand were recipients of stimulus funds.
Rep. Pete Hoekstra (R-Mich.) posted to his Twitter, "Stimulus Incentive Is Very Generous! Up to 8k! Check It Out!"
There's more. Lots more.
You guys should be ashamed. What DO you stand for, exactly?
