Doesn’t surprise me a bit. These people should be not only out of office; but in prison.
The Democrats have used that argument of “cuts” for decades. Now look where we are. A Real Cut, for a while, would be to pass nothing, and make the gov’t live within its income.
No kidding! Compared to these politicians (and all the ones we've had for the last 60 years), Bernie Madoff was a piker! And he'll be in prison for the rest of his life. But congress critters get a terrific pension for the rest of their lives, and wind up making millions based on their "public service!"
