And Another Trillion, And Another Trillion, And Another...

Senator Lemieux,

You can't be serious... You are attempting to make a 2000+ page bill something good by hanging a few Republican amendments on it? Have you read this bill, Senator? Have you seen the amount of bureaucracy, or the amount of graft that has been dumped into this bill?

How about adding this amendment? Remove all 685 uses of the word "grant".

Stop the presses, the Washington money launderers have passed a 1.1 trillion dollars spending bill with another trillion to go by the end of the year. Oh, and you are going to have to raise the debt ceiling to get there. My daughter will be happy to pay for that, also. Oh, how angry I should be, but having seen what you all are doing to our country gives me the impetus to start explaining to my daughter the need to get a good education and proceed to a country that can use it while giving her the freedom to use it to her advantage, not the government's. You in Washington have no heart and no soul. You throw huge numbers around like there will be no consequence as you protect yourselves with "private" health insurance and one heck of a golden parachute for a retirement.

Let's review some of the things you just passed that help me:

Needle exchanges for drug addicts with HIV- Nope, doesn't do me a bit of good.

Closing the Gitmo detainee way station- Nope, just brings the terrorists into the country and gives the home grown someplace to move. Good job there, Senator.

5,000 pork barrel projects- Nope, just raises my taxes so you in Washington can get re-elected because "you got more show and tell' than the other guy.

Allow the use of government money for abortions in D.C.- Nope, how is it the guilty must have committed an horrendous crime and have a court order to be put to death and yet the innocent must only be considered a nuisance to have their life ended.

Defense Spending-Nope, you didn't vote for that at all. You are saving that to push through the really bad stuff that just has to get passed. Gee, I can't wait to see that one.

You all need to go. You do not listen, you do not care. You are no longer "Americans" as our grandparents and parents were, who took care of themselves and those around them as they could. You have become the "Great Teat" where the suckling (pig/entitlement receiver, you choose) that makes the most noise and muscles its' way to the front gets the milk. Too bad the nourishment is tainted with the sweat of millions of Americans who have done nothing wrong, except understand each person is responsible for his or her own happiness.

With the respect due the Office of a Senator,
Edward Rodda

P.S. In regards to paragraph one, stop voting for any amendments. As a matter of fact, stop voting on it entirely. Let the Democrats take complete ownership. There is no compromising with megalomania.
