Such loathsome pieces of shit, may they roast in hell.
What about those 11 Democrats? Any comments?
Does anyone have a breakdown of the pork and unrelated projects and typical B.S. that was packed into this bill in addition to the unemployment benefit extention? Let's get real. It would not surprise me if there were some fifteen million dollar studies on the mating habits of fruit flies in Indonesia .... or the study of how ant tunnels are dug through elephant dung in Zimbabwe.....
It's time for stand-alone bills that are not laden with billions of dollars of bullshit.
I am sick and tired of bills like this that are full of crap....
... tack on garbage to an unemployment benefit extention bill, and then shoot it down and you hear "OH MY GOD THE UNEMPLOYED ARE GOING TO STARVE AND DIE... DONT YOU CARE ABOUT AMERICANS WHO CANT FIND JOBS"
...tack on garbage to a defense bill, and then shoot it down and year year "OH MY GOD THE AMERICAN SOLDIERS ARE GOING TO BE UNEQUIPPED AND DIE... DONT YOU CARE ABOUT SUPPORTING THE TROOPS"
.... catch my drift?

and FOR THE RECORD, I do not oppose unemployment benefit extention, as long as people can prove they are looking for work while they are collecting.
I was unemployed for 7 months in 2009. I exhausted the majority of my life's savings before I finally found work. I applied at hundreds of places before finding a job. Previously in my life, I had never been out of work for more than a few weeks. Times are hard, Jobs are rare, and I know this. Extra-ordinary times call for extra-ordinary measures.
But let's help the people in need and stop attatching billions of dollars of bullshit we DONT NEED to bills.
If we have to sacrifice and watch every nickel we spend, then so should the Government.
