Mica says: “We need to get this money out as soon as possible so people who want to work have a choice of work, have that opportunity”, but then he votes against the stimulus bill!
So lets see,....John Mica was for the stimulus bill before he was against it.
You can bet nobody in the Traditional Media will call him on this, because he is the media darling. And to be sure sometimes his theatrics, and outlandish quotes do make for the type of "drama" that readers love.
All over the media John Mica goes around complaining about "miniscule" infrastructure funding in the stimulus. If he really were interested in more infrastructure funding, he could get his Republican buddies to cut out their continuous calls for even more tax cuts than the 33% of total stimulus already going to tax cuts.
As Matt Iglesias says about Republican's inconsistency: "we can’t afford large new temporary deficit spending but can afford large new permanent tax cuts?"
It turns out some infrastructure projects were dropped to make room for more tax cuts in the stimulus bill, and even so not one Republican voted for it.
