George Holding’s Hypocrisy
2013-06-05 - by
Congressman George Holding – probably thanks to Carter – had a clear message in his campaign: “Cut Spending Now.” But not now, it turns out. And not for himself.
Holding’s ads said: “Cut Spending Now.” His yard signs said: “Cut Spending Now.” In his speeches and debates, he said: “Cut Spending Now.” By George, he would “Cut Spending Now.”
This week, I got a big, full-color piece of mail from George. It has a nice studio photo of George in front of the American flag. It tells how his office can help me with any problem with the federal government.
It also says, in teeny, tiny type: “This mailing was prepared, published and mailed at taxpayer expense.”
That’s right: the “congressional franking privilege.” The reelection subsidy that members of Congress vote for themselves.
It didn’t take old George long to get into the swing of things in Washington.
