Mikulski's Wasteful Stimulus - An Update

Wargotz Criticizes funding in so-called "Stimulus" bill

Annapolis - Commissioner Wargotz M.D. criticized the spending in the massive so-called "Stimulus" bill supported by Senator Barbara Mikulski. The stimulus bill that was promised to create jobs and keep unemployment below 8% has failed in every regard. Unemployment is hovering around 10% and the national debt was increased by $787 Billion.

Here are some of the many wasteful projects contained in the bill:
$62 million for a tunnel in Pittsburgh, PA to nowhere that even Democratic Governor Ed Rendell called a "tragic mistake"
$308 million for a joint cleanup operation with BP
$39.7 million to upgrade the statehouse and political offices in Topeka, Kansas
$1.9 million for international ant research
Wargotz released the following statement:
"The "Stimulus" bill did nothing to stimulate the economy. It created almost a trillion dollars in new debt our children and grandchildren will be forced to repay. These wasteful projects show why we cannot trust those currently in charge of the government to spend our tax dollars wisely. We need to stop wasteful spending, reduce our national debt, and hold government accountable. Senator Mikulski is a liberal big spender and we need a fiscal conservative to get our country back on track. I am that fiscal conservative."
