Hey, big spenders!
The National Taxpayers Union released its 2007 NTU Ranks Congress report yesterday. The NTU's report covers every roll call vote in the House and Senate over the past year that affected tax, spending, regulation, trade, and debt burdens. Based on their individual votes, Representatives and Senators received a Taxpayer Score (percentage) and corresponding grade which reflects how wisely they spent our money. I could tell you that I'm shocked that no Democrat from Tennessee scored better than a D, but I'd be lying if I did.
Here's how Tennessee's House delegation fared:
Blackburn ... A ... 90 percent
Cohen ... F ... 3
Cooper ... D ... 21
Davis, David ... B+ ... 84
Davis, Lincoln ... F ... 9
Duncan ... A ... 86
Gordon ... F ... 7
Tanner ... F ... 12
Wamp ... B+ ... 43
As for Tennessee's Senators:
Alexander ... C+ ... 58
Corker ... B- ... 63
