Oklahoma's junior U.S. senator is retiring after 16 years in the U.S. House and Senate.  Senator Tom Coburn presented his farewell address Thursday from the floor of the senate.  He thanked family, friends, and Oklaho9ma voters for supporting him during his time in the U. S. House and in the Senate.

Coburn has long pushed to streamline and simplify the tax code, and says many of the tax breaks identified in his recent 320-page report should be eliminated.  Coburn said our current economy is largely the result of a meddling and over-reaching Congress and Executive branch.
