The Healthcare Gravy Train: Why is NJ getting nothing?

The bribes paid to recalcitrant Democrat legislators have been documented in various blogs on both the left and right. The so-called 'Cash for Cloture' scandal can be reviewed in detail here at Michelle Malkin's site. No reasonable citizen can look at this situation and the actions by Harry Reid and not be sickened by the Senate Majority Leader using taxpayer money to bribe senators in his own caucus to support a bill that over 60 percent of Americans are against.

But my cynical side wonders where our two senators are hiding throughout this process. Menendez and Lautenberg are such comfortable votes for the Democrats that they have no leverage to get anything for the State of New Jersey's citizens. They continue to excel in their combined 30 year losing streak on behalf of our state. But hey, at least Nebraska citizens won't have to worry about their healthcare costs.
