First up, House Minority leader John Boehner. He voted no against the stimulus twice. But yet he's quoted saying this:
"The stated intent of the so-called stimulus package was to create jobs, and certainly a $57 million slush-fund studying projects did nothing to achieve that goal. With Ohio’s unemployment rate the highest it’s been in 25 years, I’m pleased that federal officials stepped in to order Ohio to use all of its construction dollars for shovel-ready projects that will create much-needed jobs.”
The quote is from his own website.
Next up, Minority Whip Eric Cantor. He voted against the Stimulus, but then requested stimulus for his district. His press secretary is quoted saying:
Cantor voted against the president’s stimulus package because “he felt there was excessive pork and government waste within the $787 billion bill,” said Stacey Johnson, his deputy press secretary.
“Now that the stimulus bill is the law of the land, Congressman Cantor supports high-speed rail in Virginia to help create the environment for tens of thousands of new jobs,” she said.
