Billy Long was on Joplin's KZRG radio earlier this week giving another uneducated interview full of talking points. Most of Southwest Missouri is getting use to the traditional sound bites that cover up Long's lack of knowledge on the issues. In this interview, we discover that Billy Long is engaging in more wasteful government spending. This time on House of Representin' souvenir coins (for the children).
KZRG morning man Joshua Marsh was the recipient of one of these coins that were purchased with your tax dollars. He calls himself lucky. What does that make the rest of us that are left to pay for this federal nonsense for something that probably ends up in a landfill a few months down the road?
Marsh tweets: Official Congressional coin from Congressman Billy Long! Apparently its for kids but I'm counting it as an honor! http://t.co/w88Pv14
We have over $14 trillion in national debt, and each cute little trinket such as this coin passed out by 435 members of Congress and 100 US Senators is another bill taxpayers have to pick up. I thought Billy Long was fed up of this wasteful spending? Honestly, I don't care if it's Nancy Pelosi's $100,000 liquor tab on her private airplane or tens of thousands of these coins, probably manufactured in China, taxpayers don't need to be footing the bill so these people can live in grandeur because they have the title of elected representative. I am fed up with this wasteful government spending!
Enjoy your coin Josh while the national debt continues to rise because we have stupid representatives who don't care about controlling spending.
By the way, it wouldn't surprise me if some clown in the House recommended putting an image of each Congressman on these coins at one time. That's how little they think about you while they take more of your money.
