$85billion - they are the "Party of Less" after all. |
So Shelby is trying to improve his state by bringing money and jobs there. Isn't that why the people elected him? I thought every politician elected is supposed to fight for their constituents, whether they're Republican or Democrat.
If you want to get into all the earmarks proposed by the Dems, it would take you right up until I get my first keeper bass of 2010. It's all well and good that you can pick out one instance (I'm sure there are many more) by a Republican to support your argument, but the truth is that the Dems are much more about spending tax dollars on social welfare as opposed to creating jobs or growing industry in their states.
