What's Another $400 Billion?

Jason Chaffetz shines again.

Congress passed, and Obama signed, another spending bill. $400,000,000,000 worth of earmarks and pet projects.

Many Republicans had their cake and ate it too.
They loaded the bill with earmarks for their state, and then voted against the bill. This way they could tell people they opposed Obama and wild Democrat spending, and at the same time bring some money home to their constituents.

Many Republicans, that is, except Jason Chaffetz. "Utah's politicians are no different from the rest. Every one of them, except Rep. Jason Chaffetz, added plenty of pork of their own, then voted against the bill."

On the bright side, one person wrote that if the bill had not passed, the government would have imploded. Which, I think, may not have been a bad thing.

Good job Jason. You have my respect. Just drop that stupid tent idea, and you got my vote.
