Instahack is also a fiscal idiot


Delayed Snark - this got caught in my drafts over a week ago and was forgotten.

Pendagon caught Glenn asking: Where should we cut spending to finance Katrina relief?

Complete list:


Farm subsidies
Federal support for public broadcasting
The DARE program
Congressional travel and staff allowances
All of the above

The stupid factor is, of course, that eliminating these programs entirely is a drop in the bucket of Katrina spending, even with the huge farm subsidy program that Bush approved. This is like paying for a house by deciding to drop a magazine subscription or two. The fact that Reynolds compares the other three programs to agricultural subsidies displays abysmal ignorance.
