Parliament of Whores (Part 2)

So Harry Reid bribes Sen. Ben Nelson (D, Nebraska) with money from the U.S. Treasury to support Obamacare. But that's just the beginning - let's check the whore score:

  • Ben Nelson (D-NE) - prostituted himself for $100 million to fund, in perpetuity, the Medicaid expansion in Nebraska.
  • Patrick "Leaky" Leahy (D-VT) and Bernie Sanders (I-VT) - whored themselves for $250 million over a six year period for Vermont's Medicaid program. Bernie also got $10 billion for national community health centers. 
  • Paul Kird (D-MA) and John Kerry (D-MA) - also whored themselves for Medicaid subsidies.
  • Chris Dodd (D-CT) - $100 million payoff. Whore.
  • Mary Landrieu (D-LA) - $300 million for Louisiana's Medicaid program.  Whore.
  • Rep. Sam Farr (D-CA) - $300 million for California for increased Medicare programs. Whore.
So now we're going to borrow money from China so we can payoff these whores.

If we had a balanced budget amendment, this kind of public bribery would be harder to pull off.
