The GOP's 'money for me but not for thee' approach to the American Rescue Plan

what big phonies…..
The GOP's 'money for me but not for thee' approach to the American Rescue Plan

PHOENIX — Always remember the First Law of Fiscal Policy: “Wasteful” government spending is only the spending that goes to other people — not to me. 

When Democrats passed their $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan in the spring, it received zero GOP votes. At the time, Republican politicians decried the stimulus package as “wasteful” and a “parade of left-wing pet projects” that was “bankrupting our children.” In the months since, however, Republicans have been touting projects in their states and districts financed by that very same bill. 

This unearned credit-hoarding began almost immediately. Before the bill even hit President Biden’s desk, Sen. Roger Wicker (R-Miss.) trumpeted its benefits for restaurant owners (while omitting mention of his own “no” vote, naturally). 

Similar boasts soon followed from Republican Reps. Madison Cawthorn (N.C.), Elise Stefanik (N.Y.), Troy Balderson (Ohio), Beth Van Duyne (Tex.) and others. 

Republican state officials who once derided the bill as irresponsible, mistargeted or unfair are also now eagerly hoovering up its money. Even so, some still claim to oppose it.

Still waiting on a awnser @Mainecat on why a republican who voted not to burden his voters grandkids kids with a debt should not fight to bring some of that fuck you money home to his state.  You know a state that will be paying it back if they get any or not 

Again want a @Mainecat explanation as to why not

Yet the media and democrats still call it " the bipartisan bill " strange

Funny how that works.  My guess is they got Liz Cheney to rub it accross her dry liver strip's so that some how makes it bipartisan
