Brains on Capitol Hill are drained every time they flush a toilet up there.
Their brains are treated at Blue Plains, you can smell them when you pass by.
This is good news. The less we have of the resident Washington, D.C. “Mandarin Class”, so much the better.
In the years ahead, there will be new Senators and Congressmen who will be arriving from the real world, fresh with stories to tell of their employees and businessmen in their districts who were raped by Ocare.
At least you have a job that provides a health care plan...
As a perfectly healthy, self-employed small business person, I get to pay almost $700 PER MONTH for my own insurance. ($2500 deductible!) And this is through a state pool for the “un-insurable” that is going away as soon as Obamacare exchanges activate. Wonder how much I’ll get to pay then?!?!
Even though we’ve struggled to keep me continuously insured through 2 years of spouse’s unemployment, I’m just about to say ‘screw it’ and keep my money. As if I’m going to get any actual health services through Obamacare as a conservative anyway - NOT!
Beat me to it.
And what about the rest of America, who's "already small paychecks" are 30% LOWER than those of government workers?
Definition from the ‘Flyover Country Dictionary’: A Federal Politician is someone who:
1.) is unqualified to do any other job in America.
2.) Has lost the ability to discern the difference between right and wrong.
3.) Assumes that there will be no negative consequences to their illegal actions while in office.
4.) Considers election to a Federal office to be a lifelong position of entitlement.
The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
We could stand in the center of Disney World throwing nerf balls randomly - and get a better crop of people to run the country than we have now.
What makes the authors of this piece think that any of the legislation is actually written by members of Congress?
It’s not so much that they’re stupid and lazy. They are clever and they lie, and they put a great deal of effort into scheming and lying on behalf of the backers that they really “report” to.
Precisely. Legislation is written by lobbyists working with the Congressional staff.
That’s why there is a revolving door between the two.
The political operatives who are FReepers (perhaps secretly) know this very well.
But us general public folks sometimes forget about this revolving door.
The lobbyist / Congressional staff revolving door, and big backers of Congressmen having so much influence are why electing a different Congressman only works for a term or two - if at all.
It’s few and far between where even a freshman Congressman does not have his big backers right from the get go.
Unions getting excemptions for what they pushed for the unwashed masses to be forced to have.
Last I checked, there were three times that many bounced off the rolls because marginal businesses were no longer allowed to offer marginal catastrophic type policies.
I thought these guys had automatic waivers? What tricks are they pulling now? They know as well as we do there is no healthcare in Obamacare; so what’s the point of making this statement? Are they trying to make it seem like they empathize with us as did Hitler when he took Germany over?
