This story shows exactly why all members of congress suck.

First, while I do have disagreements about Senator Jim Bunning's actions, I do believe his actions were based on moral ground and not political bullshit. He may have voted for the Bush wars but views change, especially when you are not worried about being reelected.

Our deficit is a huge problem and I would agree with Bunning if it wasn't directly about keeping jobs. In fact, I think the Democrats are the most to blame for this because they seemed to simply accept this a "political victory" over Republicans. From every news source I've seen, the Democrats did not push that hard for this bill to be passed, as in actual sacrifice, but I could be wrong about that.
