Back when Thomas Jefferson did the first Louisiana Purchase, he got all parts of 13 States for, what's in inflation-adjusted dollars, $150 million today. When the Senate health care bill passed, it cost $300 million to just get and buy one vote. Who knows what this week is going to cost the American taxpayers. We've also seen the outrage of how they propose to pass this bill. Over in the Senate, rather than the deliberative body going through in what's a takeover of 17 percent of the American economy, they're going to go through and try to jam it with a majority plus the Vice President, or one, whatever they need. Now we have the Slaughter rule in the House, where they're going to try not to even have an up-or-down vote. They're not even going to try to get 51 percent or 50 percent plus the Speaker. They're going to deem it passed. Do they really think the American people are going to buy this unconstitutional fraud?

In my district, we're getting hammered by unemployment. They're looking at the bonuses, and they're saying 'We don't get bonuses when our company goes down. We get laid off.'
the proposal to sharply expand the Pell Grant Program and make it an entitlement is likewise fiscally irresponsible and potentially might add to already inflated college costs.
