I gave Sen. Durbin an F. So tired of the pretense of shock and dismay regarding irresponsible spending by government agencies and then promises to "investigate." Here's a thought- How about drafting a budget and then holding the appropriate committee meetings to determine allocation of funds before writing checks???
We, the people... have had some "real gifts" these past years. Durbin, Barney Frank, Chris Dodd are but a few of the "gifts" that have impacted the Country in the very worst ways - we will live with their legacies of inemptness, destructive bills and horrible damage - for generations.
Senator Dubrin is RINO see below: About Dick Lugar’s voting record.
