The United States Senate, that august body once populated by statesmen such as Henry Clay, John C. Calhoun, and Daniel Webster, now offers us the likes of Harry Reid, Chuckie Schumer, and Barbara Boxer. Reminiscent of another Seinfeld episode, the word “shrinkage” comes to mind.
58% of Congress are millionaires and could care less about us or the country.
More than half of the U.S. senators are millionaires and 4 others fall just around $100,000 short of the millionaire rank.
Then again with Harry Reid at the helm, I don’t mind a torpid senate body that can’t move progressive legislation.
Time is on our side, however, as there are 21 democrat senators up for re-election in 2012 compared to 10 republicans. And that is not counting Lieberman’s coming retirement and Bernie Sanders’ re-election bid.
Seema I recall that 0’bamacare was going to phase out medicare, now the RATS are warning that the GOP will take away our medicare. Anymore bold ideas from the queer RATS.
