Bush Blasts Congressional ‘Majority’ For Earmarks Belonging To Leading
REPUBLICANS
bushmcconnell.jpgYesterday, after President Bush used his sixth-ever
veto to squash “a measure to fund education, job training and health
programs,” he criticized the fiscal responsibility and spending
priorities of “the majority” in Congress:
The majority was elected on a pledge of fiscal responsibility, but
so far it’s acting like a teenager with a new credit card.
White House press secretary Dana Perino added that it was “not only
the extra spending” that raised White House objections, but “also
2,000 earmarks that the president would like to see stripped out.”
While Bush is trying to cast the majority in Congress as “acting like
drunken sailors with federal tax dollars” because of earmarks, he
should take notice of who placed the largest earmarks in the bill he
just vetoed: Republicans.
According to the November 6 edition of CQ Today, the two largest
individual earmarks in the bill were placed by Sen. Richard Shelby
(R-AL) and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY):
However, much of the “pork” Boehner complained about was requested
by Republicans. Aside from the “National Programs and Activities,” the
single biggest earmark in the Labor-HHS-Education section of the bill
belongs to Sen. Richard C. Shelby, R-Ala., who won $9.3 million for
the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa. The second-largest was
requested by Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky. — $8.4
million for the University of Louisville Research Foundation.
If Bush were serious about spending, he’d take on McConnell and
Shelby, but he hasn’t. Instead, he’s playing “pure politics” in an
effort to obscure his long record of fiscal irresponsibility.
