Republcians and Pork Barrel Spending

Posted at March 25, 2008 at 2:34 pm

Excerpt:

Republicans always say that you can’t trust Democrats with your money. However, just the opposite is true.

In Iowa, Sen. Charles Grassley had more than $323,000,000 in pork barrel spending. Rep. Tom Latham was tops among Iowa Congressman with more than $69,000,000 in pork barrel spending. Latham had 63 earmarks while Iowa’s Democratic Representatives had between 25 and 27 earmarks each.

When you add this to the federal budget deficits that Reagen, George H.W. Bush, and George W. Bush have accumalated it becomes clear that you can’t trust Republicans with your money.
