Amen. Just look at the Sotomayor hearings—all ego-driven speeches by camera-loving Senators.

It goes beyond video games. When I was in school, the town kids walked. Now the school bus stops in town less than half a mile from the school to pick up kids! And all sixteen year olds have their own car to drive the 1000 feet to school. Let’s get Harkin on those problems, too!

I know the only thing these Senators and any congressman or woman want is to stay in power and have the biggest chunk of the pie and lime light on the news it strokes their ego’s. Well im sick and tired of egos i want some action to reign in spending.It will be reigned in soon when our dollar isn’t worth a plugged nickel. I remember how we used to make fun of Canada’s money not being worth much they will be making fun of us soon and Mexico to. Your dollar isn’t worth a peso’s ass. I can hear them now.

I can remember the war on poverty started by President Johnson in the 1960s and here we are now in 2009 and there are probably more in the poverty level than there was then. That really worked out well didn’t it ?! We have spent trillions on this and got no where. I have not liked Harkin for along time.Its sad i listen to Mark Levin quite often and it bothers me that he slams Iowans for continuing to send this man back to the Senate. Guess kids will be taking a sack lunch to school soon if they want something other than carrots and celery and lettuce. We had good meals when i went to school and there was very few over weight kids. This really boomed i feel with the invention of the home game systems like Atari and Nintendo and Sega and on and on. Not to mention the addition of 100+ channels and 24 hour a day cartoons.
