Porkbusters
Calling for a revolution from the bottom up
What's been interesting during these beginning days of the debate on how to pay for Katrina recovery is 1) How the GOP leadership in the House has dropped the ball, and 2) How efforts to cut federal spending are being lead by the blogs.
Politicians hate being put on the spot about these things. When you shine a light on questionable spending, they will run for cover like so many cockroaches. So, Democrat or Republican, let's keep them in line and ask them to cut the pork to pay for rebuilding the Gulf region...
