They're all trash We are talking about the same group of people that took a 3 week paid vacation this summer during the worst crisis we’ve seen in 2 decades. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just blows my mind that people still want these dingleberries in charge of important things like healthcare. I'm more amazed at myself that I can dislike this group of people more than I already do. That's a goddamn accomplishment. There is one person I've grown to have a ton of respect for though in their line of work but I'm already toeing lines so I'll stop there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd much rather have my representative tolerate pork to get the aid to people that need it, frankly. It's a $900B spending bill, and you're talking about a million dollars. That is the same as being upset about someone making $100k/year buying a McDouble. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is like 3 cents per American. I get your point, but getting worked up about 3 cents is somewhat pointless. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you under the impression that we don’t already have government sponsored healthcare or that politicians don’t already play a role in your current coverage??

This is actually a hill I might be willing to die on. When I'm a senator I will not stand for that nonsense. Forest for the trees and all that, but this stuff REALLY irks me, too.

How much is actually going to the people though? What is $600 going to do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over a billion to open a Smithsonian woman and Latino meseum? Cool. Great. A billion to Egypt? We can start adding these things up that do not help people of this country that very badly need it. That will certainly equate to more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
