that’s a good one.

But on a serious note, it’s a good policy move by these two. Congress have been getting the milk for free for far too long. They had their earmarks, but they let the Chinese pay for it.

I think the only way to reduce government spending is to raise taxes. It’s easy to spend other people’s money and it’s really easy to spend other people’s credit. How quickly would a congressman vote for a bridge to nowhere if they have to vote for a tax increase to support it.

Are you saying that the way to get someone who is spending YOUR money willy nilly to stop spending so much is to give them more of it?

Or did you leave out a "NOT" in there somewhere?
