“Ending Earmarks Express” Bus Tour Launched
Since Congress cannot seem to control its fiscal ways, the National Taxpayers Union and allies kicked off a bus tour last Friday that will hopefully drive Congress to change its wasteful ways. According to this NTU press release, 21 bills were introduced in Congress that would raise spending for every bill that would reduce spending. To put it more bluntly, “if all proposed spending in the House (of Representatives) became law at once, annual federal outlays would increase by $1.9 trillion.” To put that in perspective, the current federal budget is about $2.5 trillion.
Follow the tour with Americans for Prosperity. Better yet, tell members of Arlington’s Congressional delegation what you think of their spendthrift ways; the links will take you directly to their online websites.
