Vote Buying
Gene Patterson notes that while TN’s congressmonkies talk down the stimulus and earmarks, they’re also the ones bringing home the pork:
No one is questioning the need for these particular projects (at least not that I’ve heard), but isn’t it an odd stretch to vote against a spending measure because of the pork and still manage to make sure your district gets its share of it?
Actually, I’m questioning them because they’re an unnecessary waste of my money. But good point.
