A billion here, a billion there
As someone once said about spending in Washington, "a billion here, a billion there, pretty soon we're talking about real money." (To get to $1 billion, by the way, you'd need to make $100,000 a year at your job for 10,000 years. So, to get to $6.3 billion, yes, 63,000 years.)
According to this article, Obey tried to increase spending by $6.3 billion yesterday.
Imagine if Obey was the chairman of the Appropriations Committee. He would really saddle us quickly with higher debt and higher taxes.

Obey has no concern for anyone but himself. He's so liberal and so Washington that he doesn't understand reality anymore.
I agree. The seventh district is just another piece of land to Obey. Either he has forgotten, or just doesn't care that he is suppose to represent.
The problem with Obey is how arrogant he is. He hasn't been challenged in so long that people are afraid to speak out against him(the local media) and he figures no one back home will find out the truth about his record. If we get a candidate who can just get close to beating Obey more people will speak out and the truth about his record will get to the people. I think he could fall like a house of cards in the wind. First we must back a candidate who can be taken seriously.
So, does Obey ever visit the district to campaign, or has he been in it so long he figures it's just "in the bag"?
He rarely comes back historically, but I think he's a little concerned about this race because he's been back more in the last 6 months then probably the last 6 years. It's not really to campaign though, pretty much just photo ops.
