The Will of the People

I agree with Betsy 100% on this.

A 50-48 vote where some of the 50 votes are bought and paid for with pork barrel spending is closer to subverting the will of the people than representing it.

If she wants to talk about the true will of the people - I'm pretty sure that its not the will of the citizens of Massachusetts that their hard earned tax dollars be spent for peanut storage and other pork projects and I'd bet that the people of New York who she is supposed to represent would agree.
