Bunning wants 10 billion cut from the "deficit"? Fine. |
|
Take it out of the Pentagon budget, and you got yourself a deal.

25. How about a couple less |
|
stealth fighters in the Defense budget next year? And where did the mysterious pallets of shrink-wrapped billions ($12 billion, I believe and about 30 tons worth) disappear to in Iraq?

18. Should dig for this but: 3 TRILLIONN $ missing from Pentagon budget, but |
|
I think that was announced right after 9/11, so there's probably more.

9. because punishing kentuckians for their retiring demented senator is fair? |
|
And how is that going to help the Democratic governor and the two members of the House from Kentucky who are Democrats?

12. They elected the idiot, and he thinks the government should cut expenses |
|
If their elected representative is serious they should set the example since they're responsible for him.

7. Someone in the media needs to ask him about the hanky-panky in his 'foundation' |
|
From Wikipedia:
On December 18, 2008, the Lexington Herald Leader reported that Sen. Bunning's non-profit foundation, the Jim Bunning Foundation, has given less than 25 percent of its proceeds to charity. The charity has taken in $504,000 since 1996, according to Senate and tax records; during that period, Senator Bunning was paid $180,000 in salary by the foundation while working a reported one hour per week. Bunning Foundation board members include his wife Mary, and Cincinnati tire dealer Bob Sumerel. In 2008, records indicate that Bunning attended 10 baseball shows around the country and signed autographs, generating $61,631 in income for the charity.<36> "The whole thing is very troubling," said Melanie Slone, Executive Director for Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington.
