HR 4553 – Energy and Water Appropriations Chock Full of Subsidies, Give-aways and Earmarks:  No.

This press release from Representative Tom McClintock (R-CA) was published on Wed Sep 03 and titled "HR 4553 – Energy and Water Appropriations Chock Full of Subsidies, Give-aways and Earmarks: No.".

HR 4553 – Energy and Water Appropriations Chock Full of Subsidies, Give-aways and Earmarks: No. HR 4553 – Energy and Water Appropriations Chock Full of Subsidies, Give-aways and Earmarks: No. I continue to believe that the roots of all fiscal evil are subsidies, grants and earmarks, and this stinker is packed with them. Among my objections: Nearly a billion dollars in congressional earmarks that bypass the competitive process that awards funding based on merit and not political deals. Billions of dollars taken from taxpayers of one community to pay for local water projects that exclusively benefit some other community (in effect robbing St. Petersburg to pay St. Paul.)
