On Sunday, December 13 Senator Richard Shelby was one of only
three Republicans who voted for a 1.1 TRILLION dollar spending
bill. Without whose vote the Senate would not have had the requisite 60 votes.
Another trillion. Like it was just another $20 bill out of your wallet.
Why would any sane Republican vote for any more spending much less
something as large as a trillion dollars?
For a little piece of pork is the answer.
With porky projects goes money. To those to whom it goes, they know from
where it comes. The cup is passed. Once tasted - you're in - "Welcome to the Hemlock Society".
Every one of these designees will taste the cup.
Is there a burden on them to refuse it? I think there is.
Bottom Line: Constituents don't want it.
