Morally Bankrupt Republicans Rule Washington. The spend, borrow and steal Republicans pass a "highway" bill. Quotable: "The highway bill marks the absolute termination of the Gingrich Revolution ushered in by the 1994 Republican sweep .. Republicans are determined to pass a bill filled with earmarked spending for individual members of Congress. The 1982 highway bill contained only 10 earmarks. The 1991 bill, the last highway bill passed under Democratic leadership, contained 538 such projects. But the addiction for pork has grown so large that the current bill contains at least 3,193 earmarks." Posted by Greg Ransom | TrackBack
