Don't you think that the trillions of dollars that he and his fellow radicals in Congress voted to give away against the will of the people is more responsible for the debt?

Larson supported one radical socialist bill after another while at the same time Congress was cutting funding to the military, and on Memorial Day he decides to blame the military for our troubles, when he knows all too well the defect problems were caused by himself and his buddy Pelosi forcing their socialism onto us all.

The fact that he is proud that he voted against Iraq and Afghanistan speaks volumes about his liberal ideology.

From this it seems apparent that Mr. Larson opposes stopping Islamic Terrorists from attacking us. I suppose he believes we should have just turned the other cheek and forgave our attackers after 9/11, the shoe bomber, the planned attack on Fort Dix, the attempted bombing of the Brooklyn Bridge, the underwear bomber, Fort Hood, and so on.

Of course, this isn't a war on terrorism, it is an overseas contingency operation.

This is the same arrogant a** who is known to tell his constituents that he couldn't care less what they think and the attitude being there is nothing they can do about it, because he is in office for as long as he wants to stay. Sounds like another Kennedy style dynasty, except that this dynasty grew up in the rat infested slums of Hartford East.

If I recall correctly, didn't Larson and his band of misfits not only vote against the wars, but also voted to withhold the funding for supplies, which if it passed, would have shut off the supplies to the troops and starved them to death?

Something I am sure he is proud of on Memorial Day.

Feeling tapped out after stimulus, ObamaCare and everything else? Senator Bob Casey has one more deal for you. If the Pennsylvania Democrat gets his way, U.S. taxpayers will also pick up the astonishing tab for poorly managed union pension plans, says the Wall Street Journal.

Casey is gathering support for his "Create Jobs and Save Benefits Act," a bailout for union run retirement plans. Similar to House legislation from North Dakota Democrat Earl Pomeroy and Ohio Republican Patrick Tiberi, the bill would transfer tens of billions of dollars worth of retiree liabilities to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation, i.e., to taxpayers.

At issue are multi-employer pension plans, in which companies across an industry pay into a single pension pool:

* The plans are predominately run by unions and for years have distinguished themselves by poor management.
* The Labor Department in 2008 listed 230 multi-employer plans that were either endangered (less than 80 percent funded), or critical (less than 65 percent funded), or that had applied to government for funding relief.
* By 2009 that number had soared to 640.
