WATCH "The Cafferty File": General outrage?.

When it comes to Congress and pork, who's to be trusted?
I don't trust any of 'em. They've all been spending our (not their) money like drunken sailors for so long that it's like a mad steamroller going downhill without brakes. -Jay, Bisbee, Arizona

You eventually become what you replace. Who knew it would happen so fast with the Democrats? The party that pledged an end to corruption and irresponsible spending in the '06 election has proven that it is no better, and possibly worse, than the GOP majority it replaced.
-Matt, Plainfield, Illinois

That's easy. Since they are all pigs, none should be trusted on issues of pork. Or anything else for that matter. Useless. -Larry

That's easy, nobody! The really sad thing is, it's all borrowed money. You know, like overspending on a credit card. What I would like to know is what are they going to do when the bill comes due? -Joan, Red Bud, Illinois

How much luck will FEMA have reclaiming at least $485 million it overpaid victims of the 2005 Gulf Coast hurricanes?
The FEMA money is a drop in the bucket compared to what we waste in Iraq. Let the Katrina victims keep all they were given. -Richard, Salisbury, North Carolina

I was affected by Hurricane Rita in 2005 and demand FEMA go after any taxpayers' money obtained by anyone through false claims, no matter how small... Fraudulent claims should be prosecuted. -Ted, Lake Charles, Louisiana

Let me get this straight; FEMA displayed an appalling level of incompetence during the Katrina disaster and now they want Katrina victims to repay money they overspent as a result of this incompetence. Too bad, so sad is what I say. Haven't Katrina victims suffered enough?
-Rahul, Portsmouth, New Hampshire

Is President Bush's dream of democracy in the Middle East really a nightmare?
Jack, With the situation in Iraq deteriorating daily and the recent developments in Gaza, I can't think of a worse combination. It's going to be a nightmare summer in the Middle East and President Bush and his fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants policies in the region certainly share much of the blame. -Mike

I don't think the president understands that our type of democracy is not for everyone. I don't think the U.S., or any other country, should be trying to foist our sense of the moral high ground on any other culture or people. -Robert, Mandeville, Louisiana

Bush's dream of spreading democracy in the Middle East, like a chain reaction, has turned into a nightmare that just keeps gobbling up people, equipment, money and time, with no progress and no end in sight. Bush knows it's a disaster, yet is determined to hand it off to the next president, so it doesn't further stain his already dismal legacy. -CP

You'd have to ask the people of Iraq, Lebanon and the Palestinian Territories. Those of us living in safe communities can only speculate as to the suffering of people trying to endure in the midst of civil war. -Alan, San Angelo, Texas
