If the government wants to fund a $30 billion child health care bill then they need look no further than at themselves. I just read an article the other day about federal workers taking improper first class upgrades on flights that cost the US taxpayers $146 million last year alone. That is $146 million in one year because some shitbag politician can't be bothered to fly coach for his 2 hour flight to DC. So you want to be a man of the people, but you don't want to fly in coach with them? Bullshit...
