Many of them will be handed their walking papers. While the economy bleeds jobs and the people suffer these nimrods continue to debate health care and more trillions of debt. No more spending, no more debt, no more bail-outs. Fix the economy and stop the job loss and then get back to us on health care. 2010 cannot come soon enough to stop this foolishness.
