If any committee member deserves a political trophy, it would be Republican Sen. Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania. When Toomey was first appointed to the panel, it was seen as a nod to the Tea Party which helped sweep him into office last year. But over the past few months, he has morphed into a key negotiator. It was Toomey who authored the GOP $1.5 trillion deficit plan that would raise $500 billion in new revenue by closing some loopholes and capping deductions.
Toomey turned out to be a dud.
He supported the repeal of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell”
(DADT).
I’m convinced that most, if not all, of the “tea party” candidates are the same kind of people who were already in office. They simply saw the tea party as a way to get elected so they could cash in like the rest of them. It takes a certain kind of person who wants to be a congressman. And the majority of them are all alike.
As we know the congress people will know about the crash a long time before the people know. They will have plenty of time to get their riches and families to a safe place, probably on an island somewhere that nobody knows about. We’ll wake up one day and they will all be gone. A note on the capital door will say “So long, suckers!”
