I recently read about this. And I felt like I had to respond to my esteemed Senator. Here's what I sent him...
Dear Senator Cornyn,
I recently read about you supporting Senator Bunning during the debate on extending the unemployment benefit period for families decimated by the lengthy recession.
You were quoted as saying "Somebody has to stand up finally and say, 'No more inter-generational theft!'"
I had to laugh. Where were you when the Bush administration stole from my generation by passing Medicare part D? Where were you when the Bush administration stole from the children of my generation by lowering taxes while prosecuting an extraordinarily expensive and unnecessary war through deficit spending?
I really wish you would stick to your admirable principles on fiscal responsibility when both Democratic and Republican administrations are in power!
Sincerely, Colin.
