tea party caucus requests 1 billion in earmarks

[shintao]

I thought the Tea Party was for NO NEW TAXES, a pledge we heard Bush Sr. make years back. And yet they are the big spenders, they are no better than Republicans on earmarks, or Raising your Taxes!!! I would say the T-Party voters were lied to, and to have any credibility at all, they should demand those congressional members resign. Is there going to be a price paid for their lies and deceit? I doubt it, whacky T-Party members will just make up excuses for their taxing behaviors like everybody else does. Clean up the government?? LMAO!!!


Members of the Congressional Tea Party Caucus may tout their commitment to cutting government spending now, but they used the 111th Congress to request hundreds of earmarks that, taken cumulatively, added more than $1 billion to the federal budget.

According to a Hotline review of records compiled by Citizens Against Government Waste, the 52 members of the caucus, which pledges to cut spending and reduce the size of government, requested a total of 764 earmarks valued at $1,049,783,150 during Fiscal Year 2010, the last year for which records are available.

"It's disturbing to see the Tea Party Caucus requested that much in earmarks. This is their time to put up or shut up, to be blunt," said David Williams, vice president for policy at Citizens Against Government Waste. "There's going to be a huge backlash if they continue to request earmarks."

hey fool , the intell that many of those sstatements were based on was the Bush lies.

So what you're saying is that the quotes of Clinton in 1998 were based on the intel gathered by Bush?

No wonder you can't comprehend the simplest of things, you don't even understand that Clinton made those quotes long before the Bush information was gathered.

Wasn't the Rightwing mantra during HCR that the CBO was not to be trusted? Because they show a lowering of health care costs?

ETA: sorry, I mistook that huge sigline as an additional piece of info to add to this debate.

One thing that you need to know about the CBO is it's garbage in, garbage out. They can only calculate the data they are given.

Correct. They've allowed themselves to be used by the Regressive Party.

And who ever uses a tea bag twice?
