Who are the fiscal conservatives?

Certainly not the Republican leaders in Congress! They said no when asked to give back some of the pork allocated to their districts by the highway bill. Nancy Pelosi, the Minority Leader, offered to return $70 million that had been allocated to highway projects in her district.

What's going on here? Where are the hard-headed Republicans? They're displaying their compassion by approving money without any idea of what the money will be used for, how it will be controlled or how it will be financed.
