Montana Representative Denny Rehberg voted against the stimulus package and he was taking issue with it Tuesday on the House floor.
He contends that the $1 trillion package has led to more unemployment and more waste.
"It would make sense to spend stimulus money in the hardest hit counties, but the Associated Press reports that's not what's happening" The Republican stated. "Instead, the massive and inflexible bill is causing waste. The Billings Gazette reported that a new federal courthouse in Billings, Montana will cost taxpayers an additional $45 million as a result of the stimulus rules."
Rehberg also attacked the lack of transparency and pointed out that the web site meant to track stimulus money may not be up for another five months.
