Sen. Kennedy warns some in GOP 'swapped brains with Democrats' to support Schumer's 'orgy of spending porn'

Senator John N. Kennedy, R-La., slammed the Endless Frontiers Act as a bloated, somewhat misrepresented piece of legislation its proponents say will help the U.S. be more competitive with China in the manufacturing and technology spaces.

Of its 13 co-sponsors, about half are Republicans, including Mitt Romney of Utah, Susan Collins of Maine, Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, and Steve Daines of Montana. Kennedy, however, called the bill an "orgy of spending porn", and described its chief sponsor – Schumer – as excited to have as much additional directives added to the bill by other lawmakers as possible, so as to better guarantee the package passes. "It started out at $40 billion, the budget office tells me it is up to $200 billion and growing like Kudzu and it's probably going to pass because -- I say this gently -- some of my Republican colleagues have swapped brains with the Democrats and are going to vote for it," he said.
