Reply #103: Child care subsidies are not bloat

[Political Heretic]

You are under the mistaken impression that these elements, most of which are critically needed, "pushed out" spending on other things. But I see no evidence to suggest that. Instead, a democratic president and congress managed to push through some important funding on the back of a bill that there was tremendous pressure to pass.

This whole write a separate bill stuff doesn't make any rational sense. How about, pass the bills we need with the funding we need any way you can.

There's only one thing on that list that we don't need and thats digital TV converter subsidies. I'm thrilled to have everything else.
