Congress Worried About Spending Money on Katrina: If They Cut Their Own PORK Projects Then They Wouldn't Have to Worry

Lawmakers are concerned about spending lavishly to rebuild the Gulf Coast.

Well, they shouldn't be.

Their recent budget bills contain so much pork that one can hear the squeals coming from Washington in every corner of the nation! Congressional hypocrites!

If they are worried about spending too much on Katrina, then they should go back and slash their own pork from the budget bills. That will help with Katrina relief efforts to the tune of $1.72 billion. If they go back to their monster highway bill that they just passed, they could eliminate $24 billion in pork.

All Congress cares about is their pork projects; they're willing to sacrifice federal funding of the rebuilding of New Orleans to keep their favorite pet projects.

Here's the 2005 PIG BOOK!! Oink!! Oink!!

The President really needs that line-item veto for Congressional budget bills. The situation is out of control. See the pig book for further details.
