Median Income Data Mirrors Red State-Blue State Divide. This is interesting. It shows the correlation between earnings and voting. What does it mean that those in the lower social strata voted for Bush? Wouldn't that be contrary to their interests? Wouldn't Democrats hand out more money to those who make less? No. Those listed are the middle class who resent freeloaders. The want to be left alone in matters of domestic finance and a strong government abroad.
Feds eye Stevens' home remodeling project
Feds eye Stevens' home remodeling project . Thank God they're going after this guy. He's been so brazen with his porkbarreling and the whiff of corruption around him has been ripe enough to smell from here. I'd rather have a 100% democrat run Congress if they were ethical. Term limits. One term for Senate, two for the House, one for the President. Some fear that would increase the power of lobbyists. Simple, ban any former members from being lobbyists and limit lobbyists to terms as well. (I'm not sure how that would work. Just a thought.) The other answer is transparency. No earmarks without a floor vote. No spending of any kind without a floor vote. All spending committees (intelligence aside) open to the public and recorded and available on the web.
