Patty Murray charges her voters a 12 cent premium for their DC Goodies

Murray takes perverse pride in increasing debt limits on pet projects in her home state. Her solution to our fiscal crisis: spend, borrow, spend and borrow some more! In 2009, she stuffed the Obama porkulus with a $3.25 billion provision benefiting the federal Bonneville Power Administration by massively expanding its spending authority. Murray then claimed to have spurred immediate job creation. But the left-leaning Seattle Times countered that “even without the new stimulus package, BPA was expected to begin construction of some new transmission lines this year. And, despite claims the added spending power will quickly create jobs, construction of many of the new power lines wouldn’t start for several years.” Michelle Malkin

I think Washington citizens might want the 12 cents back they lose on each dollar of DC Goodies that Patty pumps.

Anyway, Patty in on the DC Super Congress, so right away we can bet on failure.
