The hypocrisy of Geoff Davis

Yesterday's Herald-Leader highlighted Geoff Davis's blatant hypocrisy regarding government spending:

CARROLLTON — Shortly before Christmas, U.S. Rep. Geoff Davis called for fiscal conservatism while voting against a successful $154 billion extension of the economic stimulus package that paid for schools, roads, unemployment benefits and other items.

These "unsustainable policies rely on excessive spending, endless debt and the promise of increased taxes," Davis, R-Hebron, warned.

The same day, Davis announced that he helped get more than $1 million for the Carroll County School District to expand its Head Start program for poor children. The money came from the stimulus he had just denounced.
