I'm very disappointed.
It's Christmas morning and I can't find one single gift to Nevada from Sen. Harry Reid under the health-care "reform" tree.
Nebraska scored a really big present.
Just three days ago Uncle Harry said that if a senator didn't get his state "something" in the health-care "reform" package, then that senator wasn't doing his or her job.
And yesterday Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., upped the ante. He said that every state did "get something" in the measure.
OK. I'm excited. What's Nevada's gift? Uncle Harry, as everyone knows, is the Big Kahuna of the Senate. He "brings home the bacon," his TV commercials claim. So if Nebraska got dispensation from Medicaid increases forever, one can only imagine the magnitude of Nevada's present.
Flat screen TVs for every man, woman and child? No, no -- that's way too small.
A new military base ... for every county?
(The above was part of a column written by SHERMAN FREDERICK. As a Nebraska voter and tax payer I am ashamed what my US Senator Ben sell out Nelson did. Believe it or not so are a lot of other Nebraskans including some who have voted for Mr. Nelson. Please don't embrace the lie that Nelson speaks for all of Nebraska he does not and didn't even listen to what the majority wanted before he cast his vote.
