Save a nickel, but add over $1 trillion to our national debt. ($230 billion by repealing health reform and $800 to give tax cuts to the wealthy)

Now keep the ball rolling and turn that $35 million into $35 BILLION and that into $350 BILLION!!! 2011 is off to a great start. Way to go John!! And how much is he saving by not flying in special USAF planes like the former queen of the House?
