Bunning is the greatest American legislator in recent history. We should name elementary and secondary schools for him. It is now that we make our stand and say “ NO MORE” . no more rewarding failure. No more making loans to dead Beats!! reward SUCCESS!!! What a huge hero he is.
This is part of Bunning’s recent statement to Ben Bernanke during his confirmation hearing for a second term:
“Four years ago when you came before the Senate for confirmation to be Chairman of the Federal Reserve, I was the only Senator to vote against you. In fact, I was the only Senator to even raise serious concerns about you. I opposed you because I knew you would continue the legacy of Alan Greenspan, and I was right. But I did not know how right I would be and could not begin to imagine how wrong you would be in the following four years.”

People of KY had already turned against him before he showed this latest round of courage. People in KY support unemployment comp.
