April 23, 2011, 1:46pm (report abuse)Why not start all over again.
1. Each billionaire and millionare
has to pay for one year 1% of
their total income. They have 99%
left to satisfy their greed.
This will wipe out the deficit -
2. New Budget - you cannot spend
what you do not have
3. stop giving away our money and
take care of Americans
The budget should now take a couple
of hours to do

July 25, 2011, 12:53pm (report abuse)This bill eliminates the Byrd scholarship for college students. Sorry, but I don't see how 7500 recipients, each receiving $1500 comes close to making a dent in our defense spending.
Eliminating the Byrd scholarships is WRONG. College is expensive enough.

September 23, 2011, 7:01pm (report abuse)I agree with J.V. Lively. Congress just keeps on wasting our money and their time (what little time they take in making these decisions, although a nat (you know those little insects) might take longer and might come up with something 'for the people' instead of something 'to rip the people off'.
