“My friend is right. As a matter of fact, the Commerce Committee is holding a hearing to address this problem of people dialing 911 from a cell phone. We have had people who are in the midst of being a victim of a crime dialing 911 and the law enforcement did not know where it was from. It is a crucial matter that has to be resolved. What is amazing is this administration has money to give tax breaks to people at the top. The people who earn over a million dollars a year are going to get back, oh, gosh, an average of about $80,000 a year just from the dividend tax break alone, not to mention an income tax break. They have the money for that, but they do not have the money to help our homeland defense. They have money to give to Turkey--they are talking turkey with Turkey--that is for sure. Reports of an aid package for Turkey started off as a few billion, then it was $6, then $10, then $16. Now I hear it is $26 billion. I think it was Senator Dorgan or Senator Durbin who said maybe our States should change their name to Turkey and they will do better than they are doing now. My friend is right. I have to use a sense of humor because you get upset about these things and you cannot keep being outraged.”
