"RALEIGH, N.C. -- North Carolina Sen. Richard Burr applauded some of the money coming from a federal stimulus program even though he opposed the massive spending bill by saying that it would leave future generations burdened with debt.

Burr appeared last week with local officials in Alexander County who were receiving $2 million in federal grants to help build a new fire station, according to the Hickory Daily Record. The money came from a federal stimulus program touted by Democrats and President Barack Obama.

"This is a great thing for this county," Burr said, according to the newspaper. "We're not accustomed to federal dollars in that magnitude finding their way to North Carolina.""

4. LOL... K&R

I love it when they display their idiocy/hypocrisy so openly.

Are they too stupid to know they're doing it... or are they just counting on their supporters' stupidity, hoping they won't notice?
