US Representative Paul Kanjorski (D-PA), recently graced us with his presence on the airwaves of Northeast PA by doing a “Radio Town Hall” on WILK. Over the August recess, he has done 1 “Telephone Town Hall” in which his staff chose who asked questions, and this “Radio Town Hall”, and refuses to meet face-to-face with his constituents, as he just doesn’t have the time to do so.
In discussing the recent upward revision of the projected 10 year US budget deficit from $7 Trillion to $9 Trillion, he remarked that the $2 Trillion difference “really isn’t a lot of money…”.

I’ll take a trillion or two...
Yet they hated the Bush’s and Reagan because of the deficits that were in the Billions. Thats Billions with a B.
A related story that a Freeper posted last night from teh Houston Chronical
“Deficits actually helping, not hurting the economy”
So new budget projections show a cumulative deficit of $9 trillion over the next decade. According to many commentators, that’s a terrifying number, requiring drastic action — in particular, of course, canceling efforts to boost the economy and calling off health care reform.
The truth is more complicated and less frightening. Right now deficits are actually helping the economy. In fact, deficits here and in other major economies saved the world from a much deeper slump. The longer-term outlook is worrying, but it’s not catastrophic. EXCERPT

Taking a page out of Reagan vs Carter, here is my slogan:
Are You Better Off Than You Were
4 Trillion Dollars Ago?
Anyone recall the TV Special re his FAMILY Biz funded with his 'pork' for some 'factory' that made nothing and could not be inspected because 'It was dangerous?'
If 2008 weren’t a Democrat year, Kanjorskie would of gotten smoked last November. He is almost certaintly toast in 2010.
By the way, did anyone ask this nitwit how much 'a lot' would be?
If the lib had to work for a living he’d think differently.
I hope his constituents decide they don’t have time for him. Ever again.
In 2008, Kanjorski came the closest EVER to being beat. Had it not been for Monroe County (the Pocono region), Lou Barletta would be our Rep. Kanjorski has now been in office 25 years.
I foresee 3 scenarios (from high to low likelihood) next year for the 2010 elections for his district:
2. He’s been in Washington so long that he has no clue as to the amount of discontent, and also doesn’t know that his previously moderate stances have glaringly changed much farther left than the blue dog expectations of his constituents.
2. He realizes that the Dems will lose BIG, due to all of the legislation they are slamming through.
3. He’s aleady planning on retirement.
