Congressman Peter DeFazio of Oregon, interviewed on NPR, explained why he had voted against Obama's stimulus plan. He said that he was fundamentally opposed to tax cuts from borrowed money (which in the end constituted 45% of the bill), while spending for projects that benefit the future generations were sensible from borrowed funds. He used the example of a water system in his mountain district built during the last depression that had benefited four generations.
Now he is a congressman with integrity.
