Unlike other senators, I wasn’t looking for earmarks or handouts. I wasn’t interested in horse-trading. All I wanted was a real debate on our national debt levels. They could have had my vote and saved money but instead chose more spending and tax and welfare changes targeted at Alaska at the cost of the fiscal sanity of our country.
