Paying down the debt would be proper.

But it is an election year, we need to purchase some votes.

don’t think it is vote buying when you expose the evilness and then give it back to the people

I believe I will object to that. The money was authorized for people on Medicare. Use it for that.

"Paying down the debt would be proper."

Applying 2 billion of taxpayer money isn't going to do anything to the national debt.

They piss away so much money that no one even noticed $2 billion sitting on the table.

IMHO, paying down the national debt should buy a few votes, I would think. Of course, it would have to be publicized & I should imagine our current news media might not recognize it as a top story.
