Yes they do get $100 million, when we need money, our senators sit on their hands and say they will vote the party line.
I say boycott states that have these wafflers because a lot of these states do depend on tourism and if it is that important of an issue for people fight over, then it starts with the easiest way of changing the minds of the people who accept these bribes.
I thought there wasn't going to be this form of congress, the days of ear marks and rewarding senators and congressmen for their votes was over with this new form of Obama government. I was under the impression that because we have change we can believe in, we can belieive that there is some form of governing by the people as all the ACORN people said there would be after they told us we have a right to vote.
It is interesting that most of what we have with the present health care bill from both chambers should scare the h*ll out of seniors, the cuts to Medicare will take effect within a year of the bill's signing and it will open doors for other cuts in medicare in the near term but also help with expanding welfare - all at the expense of the senior citizen. Gone will be a lot of the things to keep people alive, just to pay for those extra people who are 150% to 200% above the poverty line.
Imagine that, a person with three kids making $38,685 to $51,480 being on welfare, food stamps and medicaid?
What has this country come to?
But the money will come from Medicare cuts, yep it will and those who think that they paid into the system with all that money will end up getting what they put into the system.
For some reason people are all up in arms with the new Mammogram guidelines, better get used to that because once the government has made these types of decisions, it won't be an option but a mandate for non-payment. People better look at why they did this at this time and who is pushing for it (hint testing the water with an emotional issue), it is now health care by accounting when you discover how it was decided - if you want a comparison, look at the history of the M16 and how cost accounting was used to manufacture the weapon at the cost of lives.
Boycott them. Tell the people who voted for them with your money - don't patronize a state that helps pass this health care bill.
