Open Left

the legislation (4.00 / 7)

Is not harmful to the people of his district.  It just doesn't disproportionately benefit them.  Massa is mad that the bill gives most help to where people are most in need.  He evidently would like a bill that gives each district 1/435th of the money, so Beverly Hills gets just as much bankruptcy help as Detroit.  That's absurd.  Is he going to oppose progressive taxation next?  Insist that every district get a military base of equal size?
