"Rep. Don Young attacked his fellow Republicans on the House floor Wednesday, as he defended education funds allocated to his home state of Alaska .'You want my money, my money,' Young stridently declared before warning conservatives that 'those who bite me will be bitten back.' Young took extreme exception to an amendment by Rep. Scott Garrett (R-N.J.) to strike money in a spending bill for native Alaskan and Hawaiian educational programs." Our money...they have forgotten. When will we have the backbone to remind them?
