You've seen them. They're the giant, self-congratulatory, taxpayer-funded signs to tell taxpayers that their tax money is being spent on "stimulus" projects.
Colorado Senators Bennet and Udall voted against an amendment to "prohibit the use of stimulus funds for self-congratulatory signage that allows lawmakers to promote their spending of taxpayer dollars on stimulus projects."
This quote by Senator Judd Gregg, (R-NH), the sponsor of the amendment, is priceless:
"I just find it absurd that we're putting up all these signs all over the country with taxpayer money telling taxpayers we're spending their money," he told FOX News. "Most taxpayers can figure that out. We don't have to put up a sign and tell them we're spending their money.
Apparently Senator Bennet disagrees.
