Where was he when billions of dollars were dolled out to billionaire farmers while many Americans were losing their jobs? Was he in this country when millions of dollars were allocated to stupid projects like the so-called bridge to nowhere? Oh, I know, a Republican president was in the White House then, so stupid and wasteful bills for stupid and wasteful expenditures were okay.
