Hillary Wants $2.3 Billion For Earmarks in 09

Posted on April 28th, 2008 by vicezilla

Umm, is it just me or does Hillary’s request for $2.3 billion for pet projects sound like a lot of money? I’m just asking because the way some of these politicians are throwing money around, our money I might add, one would think the economy is as rosy as it has been for the past 100 years! $2.3 billion!?!

Her request is almost three times the largest amount received by a single senator this year, which was $837 million by Sen. Thad Cochran of Mississippi.

According to documents provided by her office:

The money is needed for homeland security, emergency response and health projects throughout New York

Yeah, but $2.3 billion? What else is she planning on doing with it, building a museum or something?

Maybe Hillary thinks that seeing as John McCain and Barrack Obama have both shunned earmarks and are not seeking any pork barrel funding for next year, she’s helping herself to their ‘would be’ share!

$2.3 billion, unreal!
