....it was Nobel Prize Winning Economist Joseph Stiglitz -- http://www2.gsb.columbia.edu/faculty/jstiglitz/
from Dylan Loewe in Huff Post today, proving his point....
Congress Daily reports that Sen. Richard Shelby (R-AL) has placed a "blanket hold" on at least 70 of President Obama's nominations until he receives over $40 billion worth of earmarks for his state.
This is unconscionably outrageous. If it were occurring anywhere else but the Senate chamber it would be extortion. A felony. It is an egregious misuse of minority power, easily the most flagrant example in years.
