I love how all this “experience” is considered a plus by this author. I can’t see any good coming from Pigman Waxman holding any position for more than 2 months.

Total BS premise. 365 Army recruits don’t have 30 years of Army experience after their first 4 wks. Liars at ABC are particularly vile...

They experience getting there and then repeat it to stay there. A better description would be: “One year of experience repeated 660 times.”

You drive down 125th Street in Manhattan at 2AM and you'll see 668 years of experience too.Some “experience” is more valuable than others.
To: mdittmar
So if every year we get another $1,000 BILLION in Debt and unfunded liabilities, 660 man-years would mean that would represent $660,000,000,000,000 (that’s $660 TRILLION) they’ve stuck our children with. Think about it. They had 50 (weeks) * 660 years = 33,000 man-weeks during which they did NOTHING to stop the bleeding.
Don’t let the doorknob hit you in your fatcat asses!

660 years of cronyism and “business as usual”. Not a serious loss IMO. The Republic will survive. Heck, it may actually get better.

“Of course there are never any Marxist extremists.”
This is perfectly reasonable and logical; that position is not “extreme” from the MSM of view.

there’s one word they both agreed described Congress today: What the hell's wrong with gridlock?

Even if it were correct, that would be worse. The founding fathers wanted a part time government of part time citizen representatives. Not permanent, professional politicians, i.e. rulers.
PS: the "experience" they refer to is in the areas of corruption, criminal activities, crony capitalism and trampling on the Constitution; and they get more skilled at it every year. We don't need that sort of "experience".

Here's Why Congress Is Losing 660 Years of Experience("The Tea Party extremists")It's like getting rid of hemorrhoids; No downside at all!
For the sake of accuracy, that would be 8 years of (corrupt) experience repeated 85 times!!

I’m reminded of an old “Far Side” cartoon that depicted a number of people mingling at a “Part of the Problem Convention”.

A 660 year old congressman died? Isn’t that the only way they leave?
