GOP takes the Senate, it'll be nothing but rubberstamping what Paul Ryan, Rand Paul and their masters the Koch brothers want signed. And there will never be another Senate investigation on this mess.

They say $6 billion? I figure it's more like $12 billion. What do we know? We know the lies NEVER stop.
