This clearly demonstrates one of the major things wrong with how our CONgress is so terribly jacked-up.
What the heck does education spending have to do with a war funding bill? Absolutely nothing. But this is how pork barrel garbage (earmarks in particular) get through. While this may technically be “legal”, it certainly isn’t moral. Even supposedly “good” additions have no place being attached to non-related pieces of legislation.
And to top it off- using this to violate a state’s sovereignty. Will Rick stand up, or lay down?
People make fun of Good Hair. And in the past he’s been wobbly on some issues. But he is openly listening to Texas sessesion people, and he’s been standing up to DC. For example, he’s made it clear that he wants Texas to have an AZ style immigration policy.
That anti-DC attitude is why he beat KBH so handily in the GOP primary.
Perry is NOT going to roll over.
