The actual NY Times headline, followed by
President Obama on Wednesday signed an “imperfect†spending bill packed with special projects in order to keep government running, but he vowed that it will be the last one and proposed ways to curb lawmakers from abusing the process in the future.
Mr. Obama, trying to regain the high ground after withering criticism that he was betraying campaign promises by signing the $410 billion package, said that from now on he would seek to eliminate projects with “no legitimate public purpose.†He proposed that all projects be open to scrutiny at public hearings and those aimed at for-profit firms be subject to competitive bidding.
Shamelessly doing one thing while saying the opposite.
Orwell would be shocked that his warning was ignored.
