What happened to "representative government"? Remember that? It was the one in which the peoples representatives were "elected" by the people to make decisions, on among other things, how the peoples tax money was spent. Looks like the 'great usurper' and his comrades like this Solis have taken it upon themselves to ignore the peoples Congress and do as they damned well please....again.

We borrow money from China, for example, and then transfer millions to foreign countries as aid. America can't even defend it's own borders against a rogue nation like Mexico, yet our 'leaders' shovel money into other nations after shoveling it into their troughs. NO tax increase, rather a government DECREASE!

Why do we have a Congress? If they constantly allow themselves to be circumvented on things such as our government not just actively building labor unions in other Countries, (which we have no business doing), but overthrowing foriegn governments and killing their leaders who disagree with our government's agenda.

These things are done without a single vote yea or nay from our so-called representatives... so...again...why do we elect a Congress? Is it for show to keep us in line? Just imagine what it will be like once they have us disarmed.

When I visited Jamaica in 1992, the unemployment rate was over 50%. Compared to Haiti, Jamaica is considered a PROSPEROUS Island. If a person actually has a JOB in Haiti in an actual FACTORY, making actual PRODUCTS and getting actual MONEY, especially after the earthquake and several hurricanes, they are very fortunate.

What are the unions trying to do...make Haiti look like DETROIT???/s

1. Unaccountable bureaucrats are socialists.

2. BIG GOVERNMENT IS CRONY SOCIALISM

3. Socialism Is Legal Plunder - "The Law" Frederic Bastiat 1801-1850

4. We're being taken over by socialists/totalitarians.

Her father was a Teamsters shop steward in Mexico[4] and after coming to the United States, worked at the Quemetco battery recycling plant in the City of Industry in the San Gabriel Valley.[5] There he again organized for the Teamsters, to gain better health care benefits for workers...

...Her mother worked for over 20 years on the assembly line of Mattel once her children were all of school age,[3] belonged to the United Rubber Workers,[8] and was outspoken about working conditions.

First generation American...second generation Devout Union worker.

The USA is steadily acting more like Cuba every day.

Money that could go to debt reduction. Fraud, waste, and abuse of American taxpayers.

Once again we are being forced to pay our tax dollars to fund our enemies and make no mistake, today’s communist controlled unions are one of our enemies.

$2 million is another one of those “drops in the bucket” that are ignored while we fight over the things least likely to get cut.

It may be just a drop in the bucket but there are enough of them to fill a supertanker.
