Congress Critters Hate Losing Their Pork

In the People's Republic of Washington State, Senator Patty Murray didn't want to give up her funds for a sculpture park. So she rants on about tax cuts. I must notice the tax cuts didn't stop the funds for that sculpture park. Heh.


Dr. Coburn also proposed cutting funds set aside for a "sculpture park" in Washington state, which caused Sen. Patty Murray to blow a gasket. "If the Senator from Oklahoma wants to look for a culprit for the fiscal situation in this country, he should look into the billions and billions of dollars in tax cuts that have been granted to multimillionaires in this country, and he should look at additional tax cuts his party wants to implement in future years if he wants to find incredible savings," Murray screeched from the floor.

Gotta watch the congress critters. They love to spend our money.

"

Heh.
