And WHO wants to turn our health care over to these dweebs….. Power hungry – money grubbing – B******* – Is anyone looking out for the taxpayer? Why do we even have Senators or Congressmen? All they want is power and more money – how ever they can get it.
And the taxpayer keeps on paying….
Time to stand up to these Washington folks and put people into office that want to protect the taxpayer, not just get their share and more.
