It's got to the point with congress that it just doesn't matter which party a representative is from they just can't resist loading up the CITIZENS who pay the taxes and their bloated salaries and expenses...with more excess spending.

$11,000,000.00 bucks worth this time, even as some of these same representatives, MANY of the Republican stripe, put up a show of fighting ObaCare and Cap and Trade whilst decrying our disastrous economic times, out of control deficit spending, etcetera ad nauseum. TERM LIMITS is getting to look like it should be a done as a constitutional amendment.

I'd like to get my hands on that beady-eyed, slimeball Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and give him what for. If ever there was a piece of legislation that defined who should be on our "hit list" for the mid-term November 2010 elections it is this. We expect this garbage from the demonRATs, but the unconscionable actions of Republicans cannot and should not be forgiven. Here is the report from The Hill on this mess:

Here's a story out of the Little Georgie-boy Bush era of spending like a drunken sailor.
(I shouldn't use that analogy as I'm a Navy vet and I NEVER spent, drunk or sober, like these jerks):

Check out this story about the Omnibus Spending Bill back in March of this year as Obama decries it, but says he'll sign it. More pathological transparency lying by the Oba-mafia chief regarding his concern for excessive spending:
