Well what do you all think?

Bridge collapse: First words out our dear ole Congress's mouth raise gas taxes 5 cents a gallon. Not we had better stop sending highway money on our pork barrel projects and start sending where it is supported to be spent on the highways.

Haven't they figured out we have gotten wise to their butts and their pork barrel projects to pay off big corporations.

Update:

to all who say I am against big corporations. No not the case! What I am against is anything happens and first words out of congress's mouth is to raise taxes. And by the way around 75% of the highway money right now is going to pork barrel projects. Not the highways. At least Bush got that one right.

    People only care about Britney Spears, Paris Hilton or American Idol. So few people pay attention to what is going on, that politicians can get anyway with anything.

    We are an ignorant, dumbed-down society that has seen its best years come and go.

    pkyzztar speaks the truth. Congress started dumbing people down years ago. Why? It's easier to rule dumb people. The only real difference between the two parties is a couple of ideologies. Democrats are always about raising taxes and wanting bigger government, and Republicans are more about giving breaks to companies and cutting taxes. You are obviously agains the big corporations...so, why don't we do as you insinuate and just get rid of all them...then you can do as the Democrats want and rely on the government to support you. Oh, what's that? There won't be any jobs? DUH!

    Read about what capitalism is and look around the world. We don't need socialism, but we do need a better health system. We can get there if we follow what the Governor of Mass. did. Oh, one last thing, look at your family members...any of them work for "big corporations"? Well, tell them if you had it your way, they wouldn't have a job, see how far they throw you! hahahahaha
