— Eric Cantor, majority leader, on the House floor today
Heard this today (on NPR — IRONICALLY) in the car and burst out with a “HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!”
So much to call into question about this quote. “Often”? “Far”? “Most”?
Meanwhile, “Nearly two-thirds of Americans say Afghan war isn’t worth fighting,” according to the most recent ABC News/Washington Post poll — the Afghan war, which is costing American taxpayers $300 MILLION PER DAY. Sounds like something that veers from what most Americans would like to see as far as the expenditure of their taxpayer dollars.
The House’s vote today would save $22 million annually. Obviously, our priorities here in America are SPOT ON.
Stephen Reader at Death and Taxes says it best: “Fiscal austerity is all the rage now, but it’s really just an excuse to snipe the (relatively inexpensive) federal programs that Republicans don’t like.”
“NPR and its programming often veer far from what most Americans would like to see as far as the expenditure of their taxpayer dollars.”
