Phil Gingrey Goes On Government Spending Spree
Last week, Congressman Phil Gingrey made a heated speech in which he warned that congressional Democrats are on a government “spending spree”. He declared,
“America simply cannot afford another spending spree by this Democratic majority. There’s a way to boost the economy without relying on all this irresponsible and unnecessary spending.”
One might conclude from these comments that Representative Gingrey is against government spending in general. That conclusion would be mistaken, however.
This year Phil Gingrey had a spending spree of his own. In just one five-month period, Gingrey made 36 requests for additional government spending on projects that would benefit politically-connected people in his congressional district.
The facts show that Phil Gingrey isn’t against big government spending sprees. He’s just against spending sprees by Democrats that don’t send money to his own congressional district.
I want to go on record in opposition to the Obamacare that is to be voted on this weekend—
definitely a NO!
