GOP Republican Senator Jim Bunning of Kentucky has since his announcement of not running for re-election suddenly gotten a sense of consciousness in spending holding up extending unemployment and cobra health benefits for millions of Americans in need at this trying time.
Maybe it is high time America bites back despite his legitimate concerns over where the money is coming from to pay for it. Maybe we should take it out of his retirement package as a Senator.
I can imagine that he would be the first person to scream aloud if he was not getting his money that would be the difference between homelessness and having health issues that go untreated.
When this older man is in dire need of help after he has, retired I can only hope those around his home where ever he may retire treat him with the same disdain.
This is more about his sudden rise to bargaining power that clearly he must be holding back for a possible Presidential run why else would he all of a sudden get a conscious regarding excessive spending. How much pork was spent during his tenure that never bothered him before now?
Good luck Mr. Bunning I hope that your money from the speech circuit is large and prosperous as you go into retirement maybe someday you will not know the issue of nearly losing your home.
