Kentucky wants the US to go to hell

Bunning is doing more than “just” stopping unemployment benefits. Due to other provisions of the bill, he is stopping highway repair and construction, making our roads that much less safe to travel. Two thousand highway workers have been laid off today.

He is responsible for the amount Medicare pays to doctors dropping by 21%. Let me tell you, it has been hard enough to find a doctor willing to take Medicare/Medicaid insurance. A drop of 21% in payments will make it impossible.

He is ending loans to small business. With the economy in the state it is in, small businesses need to be encouraged. With the loan programs now expired, it will be more difficult for small businesses to find money.

Bunning flipped off reporters who wanted to talk to him today. What an asshole!

Another reason I think all these various issues should not be lumped into one bill. It'll also keep pork and frivolous spending more in check and increase transparency.

As you know - I am right there with you and I agree.

Oh, and those furloughed highway workers? They'll most likely get back pay when the program is revived. Now who's wasting money?
