Posts Tagged ‘Earmark’
The NY Times is reporting that all of the guys that helped Obama get elected are now looking for paybacks. It appears they will be happy with either earmarks for infrastructure improvement projects (35,000 jobs per $1 BILLION spent), or else they are looking for jobs.
It appears some folks in Westchester County, NY might be looking for handouts since the county commissioners are liberals, are afraid to raise taxes and are also afraid to cut entitlements. Guess who is looking for a bailout?
Personally, all of this money should probably be coming from the local and state governments, not the federal government. Why should people from New Mexico or Idaho be financing a new tunnel from New Jersey to Manhattan?
Obama hasn’t even been sworn in yet and the lists of paybacks are already being mailed in. I have a feeling we haven’t seen anything yet.
