Ron Paul returns $100k to Treasury

[Kitschum]

If you pay your maid $100k, what kind of additional services does she provide to you?

She tucks me in at nighf.

[rah]

I pay my maid $100k

I assumed that using her picture as your avatar was also part of the settlement.

You like that, huh?

[rah]

for 100k, she better be screwing you or screwing with you. Either way.

[Kitschum]

Good help is hard to come by.

[rah]

dat true.

AFAIK, lots of congresscritters do not use their full budget allocations.

Anyone have a source for this claim? I'd be interested to know who.

[HalfLotus]

Didn't think so.

[rah]

I also was interested about that but was unable to narrow down a search far enough to find it.

[HalfLotus]

I got to page 10 of Google search results with no dice. Haven't been that far down the rabbit hole in years.

Ron Paul defends pork spending

If only he'd return this money to the Treasury.

[HalfLotus]

Earmarks aren't pork.

[Imran Siddiqui]

Yes they are.

PAUL: It's the kind I don't vote for, because I don't think the federal government should be doing it. But, if they're going to allot the money, I have a responsibility to represent my people.

If they say, hey, look, put in a highway for the district, I put it in. I put in all their requests, because I'm their representative.

So, basically, I say I disagree with it in principle, but I want to get re-elected, so screw principle.
