Boy is this the TRUTH. I was amusing myself by watching the Senate Budget Debate last night (I also occasionally hit my head against a wall). That stupid picture with Debs Stabenow was followed by Jim Talent, Dick Turbin and many, many others, complaining about pet projects being reduced by the Budget the President has submitted. IT will lead to the cancellation of a new building for the Women's Infant and Children Center in Bremerton, WA; and won't fund some extra thousand employees in Missouri. These aren't even the EARMARKs they all complain about, these are just the "entitlements". Take them away, already.
