Bill Whalen of the Hoover Institute notes that…Congress this past year approved more than 10,600 "pork" items totaling nearly $23 billion – a 13 percent increase over the previous year – at the same time the federal deficit was over $422 billion and the national debt had climbed to over $7.5 trillion.
If this is how Republican conservatism works, we’re in a heap of trouble!
Let me see now, how can we blame that on the Democrats?
Historical item of interest…The president did not veto a single bill during his first term in office. The last president who did not veto any bills was James Garfield (1831–1881). President Garfield had the perfect excuse, as he was assassinated during his first year in office.
