Thank you for all your suggestions on how to eliminate wasteful spending. In the video to the left, I respond to several of the most highly voted of your suggestions. Come back to the Senate Hub next week, when a new featured senator will ask for your suggestions.

Also, take a look at my special response to Mr. Bill Kos of Ozark, MO, on "cost-plus" contracts:

I would like to see the time cards for all elected

senators and representatives. Are we, the taxpayers, getting our money's worth from our elected officials? If you all were putting in a 40 hour work week we wouldn't be in the economic crisis we are in. What happened to CHANGE? The American people are not as stupid as you BS artist think.

The stimulus bill is just wasteful spending incarnate, and you no doubt knew this because if it weren't, you would be showing us evidence from the bill that it wasn't full of pork instead of just telling us. You might even have given us (and your enemies, the republicans) more than 12 hours to read the bill for ourselves before it was passed and our fates were sealed.

And quit bailing out companies, if they don't make it them fuck them!!! And all these damn niggers that hate white people and talk about this country. Send there ass to Africa, and they'll be begging to come back. Don't let them come back though cause niggers cause the most crime and most don't work. This is a fact look it up. And they make U.S. look stupid, because they want to talk like fucking retards to act like rappers on t.v. Yes I am a racist, and so are you if you think about it.

Here's how to get the U.S. back on track. We kill all the people who are in prison for life or who keep going back to prison. Shut down all space travel, because there's no life in space, and if there is then who cares. Quit giving welfare to the lazy ass people who don't work. Just bomb Iraq and Afganistan, quit wasting time, money, and killing our people. Lets make our own stuff and quit buying that cheap shit from China. That's it!!!

McGaskil YOU are truely a moron. NO one really thinks you are doing good job. Hopefully you will be voted out. Create a bill for limited terms so we don't the people don't have to tolerate your corruption.

The first step would be for you all to resign, because your careers are over anyway if we ever make it to another election.

Claire McCaskill is not very bright and unabashedly so. I am embarrassed that she is a member of the Senate. All I can say is that one of the biggest burdens I have lifted off of my shoulders as a result of leaving the Democratic Party is not being in the same party as Claire McCaskill.
