Its this bullshit spending that is killing the country. If they do pursue it, they'll spend millions more and end up losing. When will these so called leaders ever learn? Like the other poster, lets stop the spending first. Jeez if they put half the amount of energy into stopping wasteful spending as opposed to find new way to take our money, they would be in a much better position. I think its time to put these people in jail. If they can't balance their budget and stick within the guidlines, then it should be considered theft and they should go to jail. Stupid idea, I know, but sooner or later, we all will have nothing left to give. Then what? What they failed to tell you is that they spent 15 million on the commission.

They just see it as another revenue stream. I agree – it’s just going to drive more people to piracy. They just see it as another revenue stream.

Maybe politicians should figure out how to balance their budgets instead of taxing us all into oblivion.
