Total BS premise. 365 Army recruits don’t have 30 years of Army experience after their first 4 wks.

Is it true that the actual number of years was 666?
Rumors have to start somewhere...

Those folks with a combined ‘660 years of experience’ got us into this mess.
No one trusts the establishment anymore because they have shown they have no idea how to govern in the best interest of the people. They ‘govern’ in the best interest of the Party. My 94 y.o. mother tells of another country she lived in that put party purity above all else.

660 years of corruption. Look where all the damage created by that experience has left the nation...

When Americans want something from government, and want it intensely and protractedly, they usually get it. When they don't, they probably shouldn't. But nowadays government, a seismograph trembling to tiny tremors of appetites, is "responsive" to a fault.
Bicameralism is [...] conducive to gridlock. But there are 6 billion people on this planet and about 5.7 billion of them would be better off if they lived under governments more susceptible to gridlock. Gridlock is not an American problem, it is an American achievement.

"Gridlock" is Congress functioning exactly as it should, and exactly as designed. Getting legislation done just to pass laws is not a sign of efficiency, it's a sign of lack of control, and it's what has gotten us the enormous government we now have.

Thank GOD.

The Tea Party extremists
are against compromise at all [and] think talking to Democrats is like complicity with the enemy, When the good compromises on moral principles, it is a victory for evil.

You think it’s not a good way of looking at it?
Hmmmm....how much does it differ from number of retirements?
The ones that voluntarily retire tend to have a lot of experience. There are exceptions though.
