The Anti-Sam Brownback Blog

Senator Sam Brownback likes to make statements about cutting spending and being fiscally conservative. Here’s the latest from the LA Times:

The GOP faithful is unenthusiastic over a blueprint that fails to deliver tax cuts and new spending curbs.

“It’s not near enough,” said Sen. Sam Brownback,” R-Kan., a prominent conservative. “It’s what we can get through and we’ll be pressed to get this through.”

Awww, such warm fuzzy conservative rhetoric. Who could guess he’s running for president?

Such talk masks Brownback’s history as a spender. He likes pork just as much as the next Senator. He even funded upgrades to an ammunition plant in Kansas that was going to be closed. $10 million went to a plant that was soon to be handed over to the private sector. He had no problem getting that “through”.
