Phil Gingrey isn’t really against big government spending sprees. He’s just against spending sprees by Democrats that don’t send money to his own congressional district.

Congressman Michael Simpson suggests that in order for free market enterprise to survive, it needs to be propped up by federal government money that will in turn be spent by a state governmental organization – Boise State University, in this case. In what sense, then, is the free market free?

With a choice of many on-base chapels, plus nearly 100 churches within a 15-minute drive, there isn’t any need for Wamp’s new luxury government-funded church at Fort Campbell.

The federal government has no business spending money to benefit the investors of Legacy Engine with a study that has a predetermined outcome.

If Representative Steve Scalise really opposes government spending, then why did he craft 24 separate spending earmarks and slip them into appropriations bills in the House of Representatives?

There may be good answers to these questions, but Representative Aaron Schock did not bother to provide them as he ought to have done. He didn’t even tell how much money his earmark was for.

Spencer Bachus is posing as an opponent of government-run health care, but in his own back yard, he helps to keep a government-run health care system going by feeding it through congressional earmarks. Do his constituents realize that the very politician who warns of a “government takeover” of health care gives money to the government-controlled health care infrastructure that already dominates the practice of medicine in their district?

The earmark would provide two million dollars to military contractor General Dynamics, which just so happens to be operating the Autonomous Anti-Submarine Warfare Vertical Beam Array Sonar project program out of McLeansville, North Carolina, which is in Representative Coble’s district.

the Republicans in Congress are always complaining about how Democrats engage in too much wasteful government spending. Yet, here is Republican Representative Forbes asking for $200,000 to build a display in a visitor center.

Last week, Congressman Dana Rohrabacher stepped into the transportation crisis of Southern California with a funding proposal. For a rail system? No. Rohrabacher’s answer to the transportation crisis in Southern California is more of the same.
