Something else I have been meaning to post...
A little while ago, I saw the exchange between McCain and Coburn about the "pork"...
First, Coburn got up and gave a concise report about the abuse of Medicaid and Medicare...and how cutting them could be accomplished just by getting rid of fraud...
BUT, then McCain interrupts him to rattle off the list of pork projects, with special emphasis on Alaska and Hawaii...like he ALWAYS does, with these big spending bills...
BUT, then he talked like he and Coburn were gonna be best buds and get together to "change things"...which would be okay...but, he said "yes, NEXT year, there will be some changes made"...
I just had to laugh, because that is McCain, he only gets up and and speaks at the very END of the process...and to gripe about the pork projects...but, then he votes FOR the spending bill everytime...
WHAT a joke he is...next year, he says...why not NOW Senator...go out on that filibuster limb for once...don't just gripe, put yourself out there!!!
But, he won't...LOL
Well, there we were, Tx, you and I, having exactly the same thoughts. After all these years, McCain, I said to myself, what have you done about this? Zip, nada, nothing.
