Booze and Balloons or Body Armor and Bullets
Club for Growth: Last Friday, ABC's "20/20" with John Stossel had a great segment about pork-barrel spending, showcasing Senator Tom Coburn (R-OK) who has taken on the entire establishment of big spenders in Washington. Just this week, Coburn is proposing an amendment to the Iraq war supplemental bill to strip it of $100 million to be spent on the 2008 presidential nomination conventions. In a recent CongressDaily article, Coburn said, 'Members will have to make a difficult choice between booze and balloons or body armor and bullets,' arguing that the conventions' costs could be foreseen and do not constitute an emergency. "Were the appropriators taken by surprise by the presidential conventions?" Watch the 20/20 video here. If the link fails, please try here.
