Senator Dr. Coburn is out with the annual absurd wasteful government spending book. Features this year are a robotic squirrel, menus for meals on Mars and a study about how the video game Warcraft effects memory of seniors. Sheesh! Can we continue this national suicide?

[Obama is] undermining the rule of law, and saying, “What the Congress says doesn’t matter, I’m chief executive, I don’t care what the law is, I’m going to do this.” But, more importantly, when you’ve undermined the rule of law, what you do is, you cause other people to not have confidence in the rule of law, and then they say, “Well, if the rule of law isn’t important to the head law enforcement individual in this country”—i.e., the Attorney General—“and it’s not important to the President, because he just changes it whenever he wants, I feel free, then, to not follow the rule of law myself!” That breeds anarchy.

Dr. Coburn discussed the prospect of passing the Democrat’s plan to extend the payroll tax cut and the costs associated if this is carried out, as well as the effect Congress’ failure to put forward a deficit reduction plan will have on our immediate future.

Asking for common sense in the senate is like asking the Mafia for common sense.
Senator Coburn points out that we have “101 programs across four different agencies for surface transportation …. eighty two teacher programs across ten different agencies nine of which are not in the Department of Education … eighty -eight economic development agencies spending $6.5 billion across four agencies … 47 job training programs across nine different agencies and we’re spending $18 billion a year …”
