$40 Billion - pi$$ed away on a single afternoon during a vote called when Congress was not even in session.
My 80 year old father (a Korea War vet) has not received a cost of living increase for 2 years. They froze the pay (for two years) of a GS-5 single mom secretary I worked with. I have several friends with families who are now out of work due to huge cuts in the Dept of Defense.
But, when it comes to giving it away to illegals, unions, the perpetually lazy, the "right" skin color, and thugs, Pelosi, Reid, and Obama used a steam shovel.
We The People are the bosses in this system. The boss calls the shots. If someone does something so wrong that it enrages the boss, it should not matter if it's technically "legal." There shoud be a consequence double the proportionate insult of any given affrontery. This would provide, I believe, a sufficient deterrent to such deplorable behavior, not to mention the hugely insulting cavalier savoir faire with which these foul deeds are performed right under our noses with impunity by these ignorant, arrogant, delusional scum.
Pitchforks, axes, pikes and rope are not far behind this type of "Up yours!" poking the eyes of the general public by the Dimbec-elites. They are really pushing their luck.

We told them not to pass this bill. They passed it anyway.
We voted in such a fashion as to let them know that they screwed up, and were paying the price for their disobedience. They rammed several Lame Duck "Screw You" bills through, just to let us know that we have no voice any more.
And now they are spending MILLION$ of our tax dollars to run propaganda ads selling to us the legislation we told them not to pass in the first place.
Are we idiots? Are we retards? Are we sheep? I'm starting to feel less than sanguine about this whole cluster funk. Something tells me we're being played for complete imbeciles, and using our ability to vent on sites like FreeRepublic as a substitute for stopping these bastarts cold in their tracks.
IMHO
