Andy why should they NOT have voted for Sandy relief? The relief bill was loaded with PORK for pet projects in other states that were never even in Sandy’s path!

So when the same thing happens to any Oklahoma relief package, will they also vote against that on principle?

In that vein, don’t the Senators/Congressmen ONLY vote the way their constituents want?
All Capital Hill is nothing more than a ‘swap meet’ - You vote for me and I will swing my votes your way.

Remember, the multi bills were designed to speed the process up BUT professional pols have figured a way to legally steal and fund their own pet projects on the back of legitimate bills.

We have to get back to where a Mayor’s election should ONLY be funded by those he is going to directly serve, same as a Congressional, Senatorial, and up the line.

Wasn’t that the reason they ‘invented’ matching Federal Funds?

It is ‘disgusting’ that the day after a Congressional election the elected are IMMEDIATELY on the campaign trail raising money etc for the next election, two years down the road.

Used to be considered a joke when one would say “why would someone spend 5 million bucks on a job that pays 200 thou a year” but it is definitely the norm now.
