'Revenge Spending' Earmark Included in the Omnibus Bill

If ever there was an attempt at 'revenge spending' by a member of Congress, Rep. Emanuel Cleaver (D-MO) takes the cake for the most outrageous earmark.  As a last-ditch effort to get even with the voters who kicked Democrats out of office on November 2nd, Emanuel added a $48 BILLION earmark to the omnibus bill, which he wanted to give to a personal friend for the purpose of wealth redistribution.  You read that correctly!  Thankfully, the Omnibus bill failed in Congress last night. 

Remember Cleaver's name and his egregious behavior, because he will lead the Congressional Black Caucus next year!
