This might be why the bill got turned round. There has been a real horrible deteremination of the past 20 years (pork) as spending for totally foolish things has reached a point where the only certainty is that liberals are against anything coming from across the aisle and there is so much graft going on on the conservative (?) side that no one can even decide a basic platform. And that is the mistakes of the voters by not telling their employees what they want and firing them if they don’t do it.

No guts, no balls, no white hat.
