The Cruelty's The POINT: 20 House members, mostly Republican, voted against millions in funding for their own districts

It happened again: These 20 House members, mostly Republican, voted against millions in funding for their own districts - Business Insider

Friday's bill encompassed roughly 70% of federal government funding, including the Pentagon, the State Department, the Department of Homeland Security, and other agencies.

The other 30% was contained in a separate funding bill passed roughly two weeks ago, but that bill contained far more earmarks, especially for House members. Nonetheless, 42 House members who secured earmarks voted against it anyway, 40 of whom were Republicans.

They want government money and at the same time condemn it. Yes, hypocrites to the max.
