December 18, 2009, 2:36pm (report abuse)You have got to be kidding. How can one body of elected put this much stuff together every day. Please stop the insanity and save our country. You can not keep this up, we can only do so much. They (you ) are going to cause us to implode and destroy our selves.

Then we'll be totally without Income & officially 3rd World!! Then we can totally depend on "hand-outs" (caution - likely POISON) then they can finish giving our country to the rest of the WORLD.
