Bobby Jindal was walking towards the microphone with a shine in the eyes and seemed hopped up on Red Bull as he trundled the Republican response speech to President Obama.
Bobby Jindal was supposed to launch his national political career, but he was about to end it. Some people even thought that he reminded them of Kenneth from 30 Rock. He did not even get his facts straight.
But the Democratic leaders in Congress rejected his approach. Instead of trusting us to make wise decisions with our own money, they agreed the largest government spending bill in history with a price tag of more than $1 trillion with interest. While some of the developments in the bill are essential, their legislation is larded with wasteful spending.
Which includes the $300 million to buy new cars for the government, $8 billion for high-speed rail projects, such as a 'magnetic levitation' line from Las Vegas to Disneyland, and $140 million for something called 'volcano monitoring.' Instead of monitoring volcanoes, what Congress should be monitoring is the eruption of spending in Washington, DC
