All year we've been hearing from the GOP that the Obama administration spends too much money.
But now that the east coast is recovering from the effects Hurricane Irene, Republican governors of storm-ravaged states like New Jersey and Pennsylvania can't wait to get some government handouts of their own.
Don't get me wrong: I think it's great that the federal government is providing funds to help the states recover from the storm's devastation. The funding itself isn't the issue here. The issue is the GOP hypocrisy.
It appears that the GOP leaders decry federal spending only until they need some of that federal money for their own local interests.
