The Senators are the .gov equivalent of Gordon Gekko:

“Waste and fraud are good. Waste and fraud work. Waste and fraud cuts through and captures the essence of the evolutionary spirit.”

Reminds me of the time when I first starting working for the Dept of Corrections a long time ago. On my first night shift I found several tattoo guns hidden away. What I didn’t realize was those areas had been already searched by more experienced staff. I found that out when my FTO told me I needed to slow down because I was making everyone else nervous.

Yeah, what's a few million taxpayer dollars squandered on a daily basis? Let's slow down, be prudent, take our time and go bankrupt like gentlemen.

RINOs are such scum.
