First off, of course, are the members of Congress - exempt. Other government officials and Federal employees - exempt. State of Nebraska's Medicare, by virtue of the haggling Senator Nelson did, - exempt. There are others. Who knows what else? Oh, but it is full of pork. Even for Islamists in Detroit who, supposedly, are not porkers! Has anybody have the full bill yet? Last I heard, it is an ongoing project subject to various insertions by the powers-that-be. Heh!

His 'involvement' screams 'obama'. Obama and rhambo and axelrot plus a few other thieves wrote this deal, burris is just the empty puppet they used to enter it into congress. Why do you think blago picked this nit-wit? He's a Chicago rat with a title, a very short lived title, but it is his for now. A simple 'yes man'. He might even be embarrassed if he had an ethical bone in his body, but no. None of them do. I forgot…

Try to get a gov't loan, or a gov't contract for ANYTHING. Then try again with a different last name....that works every time. I actually tried this once using my girlfriends last name and, viola, she was approved just after I was turned down. Same deal, same numbers, everything but the name. BUT then nepotism took control and we lost the deal in the end, a family member in gov't won. (true story)
