The Senate Conservatives Fund (SCF) criticized U.S. Senator Mitch McConnell (R-KY) Wednesday for allowing a $2 billion Kentucky earmark to be added to the debt deal he negotiated with U.S. Senator Harry Reid (D-NV). SCF Executive Director Matt Hoskins made the following statement:
"Americans are familiar with the 'Cornhusker Kickback' that Nebraska Senator Ben Nelson was given in exchange for his vote on Obamacare. Well now Kentucky Senator Mitch McConnell has an Obamacare earmark of his own.
"The McConnell-Reid deal not only funds Obamacare and suspends the debt limit, it also includes a provision in Section 123 that increases funding for the Olmsted Locks and Dam in Kentucky from $775 million to $2.9 billion.
"In exchange for funding Obamacare and raising the debt limit, Mitch McConnell secured a $2 billion Kentucky kickback.
"This is an insult to Kentucky families who don't want to pay for Obamacare and who don't want to shoulder any more debt.
"Mitch McConnell is trying to blame others for this abuse, but everyone knows he negotiated this deal and everyone knows he wrote the bill. If he didn't want the earmark included, he could have kept it out.
"Also, this isn't the first time he has supported funds for this project. He also requested $100 million for it in 2010.
"This is what's wrong with Washington and it's what's wrong with Mitch McConnell."

AAAACCCCKKKK!
You just ruined my favorite all-time Rock-and/or-Roll song.
How does it feel?
ps: my good friend Steve Hoffman mastered the absolute best sounding version of that album.
Yet another fiscal criminal. The bum should be imprisoned.
So stupid even a Cave Man can do it!
I thought the Dem’s were not going to negotiate.
Hell, they negotiated plenty. They bribed those people.
the First ones now, will later be Last.........
You used to be so amused,
At Harry Reid in a tie and the language that he used.
“terrorist!” “Anarchist!” “Arsonist!” “Jaywalker!”
Go to him now, he calls you, you can’t refuse.
When you ain’t got nothing, you’ve got nothing to lose
You’re invisible now, you’ve got no secrets to conceal.
Excellent
And of course you know, whomever ends up getting that 2 billion dollars, they’re going to end up giving a % of that to McConnell for reelection.
Washington D.C. is corrupt beyond belief.
Their strategy is defeat conservatives and conservative policies. They are pretty smart and wily to do this and then get the Republican rank-n-file to reelect them again and again.
He and Boehner have got to GO!
At Harry Reid in a tie and the language that he used.
“terrorist!” “Anarchist!” “Arsonist!” “Jaywalker!”
Go to him now, he calls you, you can’t refuse.
When you ain’t got nothing, you’ve got nothing to lose
You’re invisible now, you’ve got no secrets to conceal.

“How does it feel
How does it feel
To be without a home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone?”
Welcome to ObamaDon'tCare - you may lose your home and you are unknown except as a number. It feels pretty crappy.

"Come senators, congressmen Please heed the call
Don’t stand in the doorway Don’t block up the hall
For he that gets hurt Will be he who has stalled
There’s a battle outside and it is ragin’
It’ll soon shake your windows and rattle your walls
For the times they are a-changin’....
Yep!!
Sounds like you’re familiar with Steve’s re-masterings - yes?
