745,000 pennies I coulda saved...

But they were never my pennies to begin with, right?

According to Forbes, Obamacare will increase health care costs for the average family of four by $7,450 before 2022.

Yowza!

Meanwhile, our wonderful Congresswoman Cheri Bustos is fighting for the military! Or something. It sounds like she's leading the charge to prevent a government shutdo-NOPE. She voted for a government shutdown so she could protect this wonderful "tax" called Obamacare.

Thanks, Cheri. My middle class family really appreciates it.

Respect

So on Wednesday, our favorite Congresswoman Cheri Bustos joined fellow congressional members at a 9/11 memorial service in Washington, DC.

And while the names of the dead were being read...

Cheri Bustos was texting. Or tweeting. Or maybe she was playing online poker with John McCain. Needless to say... wow.

Stay classy, Cheri.

Cheri Bustos is MIA

Very good letter in the Argus/Dispatch yesterday about Cheri Bustos' habit of being "missing-in-action."

It's actually becoming somewhat of a joke.

Bustos had the opportunity to vote to fund the Rock Island Arsenal... she doesn't show up.

She had the opportunity to vote for a budget (six of them!) and finally stand for something... she votes no.

She has had eight months to hold a town hall to listen to her constituents... she has held zero.

I hear she's a good fundraiser, though, so at least there's that. Unfortunately, that does no good for her constituents, who are left out in the cold with a "missing-in-action" congresswoman.

Cheri, get your priorities straight!
