Ah, the Swamp Queen is doing what she does best: Throwing the weight of government around to intimidate private businesses and shake ‘em down.

The Congressional Black Caucus is trying to help by organizing job fairs across the country. Congresswoman Maxine Waters also wants to help by putting more pressure on the big banks to help with mortgages.

“If they don’t come up with loan modifications and keep people in their homes that they’ve worked so hard for, we’re going to tax them out of business,” said Waters.

The DNC has a long history of taxing businesses out of the US.

Maxine’s replaced Nazi Pelosi as the face of the Democrats in Congress. This can’t be bad. The Republicans should egg her on.

The Congressional White Cacus would say that their friend Maxine is one of the Obammy’s “smart people.” Vote for Maxine!

Isn’t that what got us into this mess in the first place? Why don’t these people buy homes they can afford instead of expecting OTHER PEOPLE to subsidize some fancy $300,000 home in the burbs with a pool, etc?? My husband and I will be moving into a less expensive home in the not too distant future...all so we can help pay these jokers’ mortgage. Spread the wealth, Maxine...spread the wealth.
I wasn’t raised to talk like this, but I really hate this woman and others like her.

“Maxine’s district is comprised entirely of career-welfare recipients.”

Welfare recipients buy groceries & gas, and even work under the table; things are worse in all three categories for them. She may face a primary challenge from a welfare queen who promises all the goodies, without any track record of supporting the Kenyan King who failed to deliver.
