I wrote him last weekend to not vote for this package as Ohio is my home state. So to get the almighty 60 votes, since they couldn't get mainstream Republicans to vote for it, we got to pay for Senator Brown to fly from Ohio to DC just to vote on this pork bill. Nice, isn't it, that we're footing a bill of about $3000/hour to jet him to DC. So, while they roasted the CEOs of Detroit (and I agreed with it), they fly ONE senator back to DC for a vote. Where is the outrage? HYPOCRITES! Every last one of them.
GS employees are not actually salaried. I always thought they were. They fill out hourly time sheets every two weeks to get paid. PERHAPS, we should make Representatives and Senators (and Presidents too) GS employees, accountable for every minute they work? So, that said, we've just passed spending for the next three or so years... send them back to their states until August when we'll be in the midst of yearly budget woes, to work real jobs. They're just going to rubber stamp the president's budget when it comes in anyways. They don't need more than a few DAYS (weeks) debate to do that. They certainly have no more money to spend. Heck, we don't have the funds for the insane bill that just passed yesterday.
Just food for thought.
