So We Don't Care About Pork?

Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY) claims that “the American people really don’t care” about the billions of dollars wasted by Congress annually on pork-barrel spending.

We, the 286 million Americans living outside of New York, who didn’t vote for Mr. Schumer, disagree with his mindless chatter. Mr. Schumer, we, the People, DO very much care about your irresponsible borrowing against our children’s futures to fund your profligate pork-barrel spending. In fact, many of us more than just care – we vehemently object.

Perhaps, Mr. Schumer, you should “revise and extend your remarks,” and in the future, speak only on behalf of small minority that actually voted for you. Don’t presume to speak for my family, friends, or the American people.

Listen to Mr. Schumer’s speech, then compare his words to those of Thomas Jefferson:
“I, however, place economy among the first and most important republican virtues, and public debt as the greatest of the dangers to be feared.”
