U.S. Rep. Ron Paul, R-Lake Jackson, is known for principled libertarian stands against government spending. But it turns out Dr. Paul’s principles don’t apply equally to procuring pork for his Southeast Texas district. According to letters released by his office, Dr. Paul, who’s running for president, has requested millions for the Army Corps of Engineers to do maintenance on the Texas City Channel, as well as money for a bridge in Galveston. Fair enough – even a small government has to take care of infrastructure. But why has Dr. Paul requested $8 million for shrimp marketing? Physician, heal thyself. I guess getting the government involved in the market is still cool for now with Ron Paul. Shrimp bacon, anyone? Apparently Dallas News neglected to mention that Ron Paul was against the pork before he was for it.
