Republican Congresswoman rails against wasteful government spending in mailer paid for by taxpayers; voted against stimulus but took credit for projects funded by it.

Republican Congresswoman Mary Fallin recently mailed a campaign like literature piece to her constituents in Oklahoma complaining of wasteful government spending. What is surprising is the literature piece was paid for with taxpayer funds.

The mailer, which declares that the congresswoman wants to "reduce the tax burden on all Americans," Rep. Fallin hypes her conservative credits by noting she voted against the "government regulation of health care," the Stimulus, the cap and trade measures, and the president's entire 2010 budget.

Spending taxpayer dollars on campaign materials is illegal, yet congressional Republicans think they found a loophole, simply by calling it something different.

Rep. Fallin's mailer fails to mention her support of millions in taxpayer dollars for local parks in her district, which the Congressional Budget Office estimates could cost $ 1 million to $3 million annually.

Just like her vote against the Stimulus, then later taking credit for the projects in Oklahoma; Fallin is trying to have it both ways. She wants her voters to think she is cutting spending, while at the same time wants their taxpayer dollars spent so she can take credit at local photo-ops.
