U.S. Newswire : Releases : "Citizens Against Government Waste Names Reps. Tom...": "Citizens Against Government Waste (CAGW) today named House Majority Leader Tom DeLay (R-Texas) and Transportation and Infrastructure Committee Chairman Don Young (R-Alaska) Co-Porkers of the Month for their response to requests to offset the costs of Hurricane Katrina relief. According to a Sept. 14 Washington Times article, Rep. DeLay declared an 'ongoing victory' in the effort to cut spending, and that the Republicans had 'pared (the government) down pretty good.' While claiming to be receptive to proposed offsets, DeLay said that 'nobody has been able to come up with any yet.' He added that cutting the 6,000 earmarks in the recently-passed $295 billion Transportation Equity Act - A Legacy for Users (TEA-LU) would adversely affect 'important infrastructure' and the economy, and it would be 'right' to borrow the money to pay for Katrina relief."
