Another reason to be disgusted with DC

Last Week: "We unanimously passed a 10 billion dollar emergency spending bill to help the poor huricaine victems."

This Week: "We are going to cut Medicade by 10 billion dollars."

The argument is that it is a program whos costs keep going up. No shit! With more poor people now than in 2000 there are more people taking advantage of the program. Instead of reprioritising the budget to take care of Americans the pathetic millionaires in Washington want to slash the program. More guns less butter. More misadventures in foreign lands, and another poke in the eye to the average joe. The poor get poorer and the rich get richer and America better wake up and start to care or we are for the bone yard.
