I believe that we should spend taxpayer dollars where they are most needed,

That's one way to spend taxpayer dollars. Maybe they should call expert witnesses from New Orleans to testify what happens when you don't have proper flood control.

Your local taxpayer dollars are being used to employ a lobbyist as a middleman to go out and get your federal tax dollars. It's a situation that's increasing.

What I don't want to become numb to is wasting those taxpayer dollars.

And I thought I would just share with you what science says today about silicone breast implants. If you have them, you're healthier than if you don't. In fact, there's no science that shows that silicone breast implants are detrimental and, in fact, they make you healthier.

The vast amount of waste and sheer stupidity in government - from the Pentagon to the Food and Drug Administration - could fill committee agendas for years.
