That seems to be the advice of our new Senator, Scott Brown. His campaign touted fiscal control. Yet, he is backing GE's efforts despite the Pentagon's assertion that such an engine is not needed. to provide an alternative engine for the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter So far GE has received $2.4 billion for its work on building the engine that the Pentagon does not want. Brown is not the first Mass. Senator to support GE. The contract means jobs for GE in Lynn. Hence, Kennedy and Kerry also supported GE.

What's that old-fashioned saying about working for the good of the nation? Will we ever find a Senator who actually does that?
