Congress is set to increase the federal debt limit by $1.8 trillion dollars and Republicans immediately attacked the move as irresponsible. But a simple analysis of what is inside the pages shows the same controversial earmarks by the usual suspects. United States Senator Richard Shelby (R) of Alabama is the ranking Republican on the appropriations subcommittee. This is a great place to be for a Senator who likes to wheel and deal. Senator Shelby (R) was able to attach thirty (30) earmarks worth $61.6 million. $61.6 million is a drop in the bucket compared to $1.8 trillion, but hypocrites of a different color are still hypocrites. As such, United States Senator Richard Shelby (R) is the current recipient of the Wesley Mouch Award; if it doesn't fit, you can't convict....GUILTY.
The next time a friend says that they can't switch from Democrat or Republican to Whig because by doing so they will be aiding the opposition in the next round of elections, remember and remind your friend of Richard "The Mouch" Shelby (R). Ho ho ho, Merry Christmas...for the friends of Richard Shelby.
