The following is just a sample of the end result of numb-skulled, thoughtless, selfish congressional antics that have been compiled by Senator Tom A. Coburn, who shows that at least 1 Member of Congress has concern for the American Public:
- Professional sports loophole – (Taxes) $91 million
(The National Football League (NFL), the National Hockey League (NHL), and the Professional Golfers’ Association (PGA) classify themselves as non-profit organizations to exempt themselves from federal income taxes on earnings)
-Junk food, luxury drinks, soap operas, and billions of dollars in improper food stamp payments – (Department of Agriculture) $4.5 billion
(Starbucks drinks, Kentucky Fried Chicken, Taco Bell, soap operas, and alcohol were all purchased this year with federal food stamp funds.)
-Oklahoma keeps unused airport open to collect federal checks – (OK) $450,000
-Moroccan pottery classes – (U.S. Agency for International Development) $27 million
-Martian food tasting – (HI) $947,000
(That is the goal of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s (NASA) Advanced Food Technology Project, which has already developed a recipe for pizza and about 100 other foods that could be served some day on Mars)
-Phantom, unused grant accounts draw fees – (Department of Health and Human Services) $2 million
(The government pays as much as $2 million annually in monthly service fees to maintain about 28,000 phantom grant accounts that are empty and have expired.)
-A penny made is two pennies wasted – (Department of the Treasury) $70 million
(the cost to produce a penny in 2012 is more than two times its actual value. The Department of the Treasury announced the average cost of production this year was 2.4 cents – the highest it has been in years)
-Call me for free, maybe – (Federal Communications Commission) $1.5 billion
(The "Obamaphone" fiasco)
-Powerful routers installed in tiny rural libraries and schools – (WV) $24 million
(Seventy percent of the high-powered routers have gone to schools and libraries, even though the equipment is unnecessary for these rural institutions.)
The above is just a sampling of the most outrageous and Moronically Psychotic ways our elected "leaders" have allowed America's already terminal economy to be further annihilated at the expense of the American Public, along with their Children and Grand-Children who as a result of a "Toxic Congress" will be doomed to PERMANENT Debt.
Send this to your Elected Imbeciles (EXCEPT the few like Sen.Tom Coburn) and feel free to let them know how "Grateful" We all are for these monumental acts of betrayal which have been literally and metaphorically defecated down the throats of every single American Citizen for many many many generations to come.......

Thank you Dr. Coburn, you show a lot ofmoxy for us in D.C. Keep up the good work, you make this Okie veteran proud.
Amazing! No one else has signed this. It's hilarious how We ordinary citizens, with no special privileges, go Spineless when someone has the courage to speak frankly. I , for one have had enough of the "Race To 1984" , where We, The ordinary "unestablished" Citizens of the United States are the "Romney Wordsworth(s)" of Tomorrow. Sheep DESERVE to be Sheared. And Deserve to be Cursed by their Children and Grand-Children who will most certainly live their Adult years in a Living Hell.
