Senator Brownback

Senator Sam Brownback of Kansas is a colorful fellow.
He is a Catholic.
Sort of.
He converted from an evangelistic church to Catholicism.
Sort of.
He’s a Republican.
Sort of.
He supports the President.
Sort of.
He’s concentrating on being Senator from Kansas.
Sort of.
Right now he’s concentrating on running for President of the United States.
It seems that because he attends Catholic Mass and still runs around to catch the enthusiastic presentations at his old evangelistic church he thinks he is the one that all Americans could agree to vote on.
The economy is Kansas in based on agriculture and as such these days that means it is based on government hand outs.
The USDA has a rural construction department that actually hands out money to build apartment buildings, new homes, waste water treatment plants (not for farms – for cities and towns), fire houses, police stations and even city halls.
Senator Brownback has been a critic of many government programs and even, it seems of the American government, but when it comes down to taking money from the rest of the nation Old Greenback Brownback is one of the first in line.
Even as American soldiers are dying in Iraq and working in the field with inferior equipment Old Greenback Brownback has been raking in the Federal grant dollars for Kansas.
Even as he talks about fiscal responsibility he seems to have been supporting Kansas in recycling Medicaid funds. Funds to help soldiers’ families get medical care.
