This afternoon, the House of Representatives passed an earmarks-laden supplemental appropriations bill which House Republicans had an opportunity and perfect reason to oppose.
The GOP has discovered in the 24 hours it has had to review the legislation that the legislation wipes out funding for programs designed to prevent AIDS in babies that have virtually wiped out “baby AIDS” in several states and the legislation almost takes away over $16 million in funding for military family housing.
I don’t think a single Republican voted against it.
That’s a blown opportunity, folks.
