MIM - Cochran Statement on Earmarks

Cochran Statement on Earmarks

In response, Sen. Thad Cochran said this: “Congress cannot ignore its constitutional responsibilities to approve the allocation of federal funds. I will continue to work with Chairman Inouye to ensure that the bills reported by the Senate Appropriations Committee are prepared in a transparent manner, conform to federal laws and only approve spending that is in the national interest.”

Spending what you don’t have is not right....even when you are bringing the bacon back to Mississippi.

Dear Senator Cochran,

Please don’t put our grandchildren into any more debt even if it comes to Mississippi. Please, NO MORE EARMARKS PERIOD !!!!

I guess it’s a good thing you don’t plan on ever running again.

Sincerely,

David

Mr. Cochran; It sure warms my heart that congress is so concerned over the American work force. Did you and all the others in washington have this same concern while putting our country in a position of over a trillion in deficits and a budget that only a drunken sailor would think was balanced. If those in congress were there to represent the American public we would have a balanced budsget and no deficit. Only by the will of congress are we in the situation this country is in. I don’t want to be harsh but I don’t think any of congress has any idea what the constitution states. This health bill that obama is so insistant on passing, your retirement and a lot of other things aren’t legal if you would take the time to read the twenty-eighth admendment.
