Burr calling children "hogs at the trough." It's hard to listen more than once given that sort of rhetoric.

Congress was debating and ultimately passed an expansion to the state children’s health insurance program which will mean over $100 million in new federal money to help NC parents buy affordable health coverage for their kids. Senator Burr not only didn’t vote for the bill but also didn’t have very kind words to say about some kids who may now qualify for coverage.

Hogs at the trough??!!! What could possibly inspire a wealthy politician with a large staff and enough time and money on his hands to fix himself up for the TV cameras with a nice, telegenic purple tie and perfectly coiffed hair to utter such an ignorant, mean spirited statement? And this from a man who seems to have delusions of seeking national office?? Simply amazing.
