We all know that democrats like nothing more than cradle-to-grave government intervention. It's hard-wired into their DNA.
Republicans, or more accurately republicans, should know better.
Doing a quick check of PA 59 & PA 60 of 2010, there are a disturbingly large number of those republicans on the "yea" column.
Since this is an election year, and since many will be stumping for your money and support, check on the list below and then ask your elected official what they were smoking that day when they chucked their philosophy out on North Capitol?

I know that many of these officials and their staff/supporters lurk on this site.
This would be a great opportunity for them to get off of their complacency, get on their computers and let us know why they voted the way they did.
