Pork With No Barbecue Sauce
The pen is......The Senate passed the spending bill yesterday with 8700 "earmarks" in it totaling 33BILLION dollars. Only one Senator, John McCain stood in the well and called it what it was, business as usual. If the President is true to his word, he will cut out those earmarks, but does he have the political will to do it. They, whoever they are, say that it is money the Senators and MC's need to get to show the folks back home that they are doing their job. If you and I are doing our job we will tell them to cut the "pork" and lets get on with fixing what needs to be fixed. It will be interesting to see how the American public reacts to all this. My hunch is they liked the "no pork" rhetoric during the campaign but when push comes to shove they will take the money and run. Wake up America your elected representatives have a ring through your nose and are leading us to the debt trough once again. It will take more than a few so called "tea" parties to get these peoples attention. They work for us but you would never know it because we are refusing to hold them accountable.
