I’m getting tired of that excuse. The republicans need to grow some balls and call the press out on that shit. With all the social media and other platforms, they can get their message our if they want to. Fake news Drain the swamp
Eff the libs. Eff the press. I'm tired of caving to their BS. Nancy and Schumer were for the wall, or some iteration, until Trump.
This is Trump's fault. He had a majority for two years yet nothing was done. He let Rino Ryan run the show, just like he lets Rosenstein run the country. He will fold. He will not win in 2020 because of that fold. This will separate him from his base, including me. Dems or another Rino will win. We will be back on the path to doom. In other words, we are f****d. We let in too many leeches and did nothing to make our own leeches contribute. Enjoy working for the benefit of others.
Why would he lose you, or other members of his base? Even if he doesn’t get it accomplished, he’s still better than any other option we have right now, unless somehow the whole party rallies around Rand Paul.
We have gone 14 days without spending 25% of the government so-called budget. Does this mean we now have a balanced budget? Yipee!
I know the practice has been to cut off things that cause pain. However, the concept that there are not services that could be eliminated with minimal impact is absurd. Congressional salaries would be a good place to start.
Perhaps an amendment to tie congressional pay to the average median household income of the country is in order. Average American household only makes 60K a year...then so does the average American congressional representative...
Not a bad idea, but maybe add a cost of living adjustment for the DC area. It is expensive to live around here. The government and even most businesses realize this and adjust pay, per-deim and hotel allowances accordingly. The adjustment should be the same one all federal employees get to keep congress from bumping theirs separately.
I’ve thought this too, except it should be done by state median. After all, that’s who they represent. They also need to get rid of healthcare for Congress. They should have to buy and have the same options as every other American that isn’t in on the hill. Want to see how fast Dems drop that Governent healthcare and purge government from all aspects of healthcare. Do that. They’ll be free market champions faster than speedy Gonzales
Nope they don't have to live there. Airplanes fly everyday... If that's too much to ask we can put up some section 8 housing for them to live in while in DC.
So instead of giving them a decent wage to live in DC you are going to pay to fly them home and back all the time? That has to be one of the dumbest ideas I have heard in a while.
No they can live in DC...in the same public housing that ask others to live in... Did I say anything about paying them to fly...even then those are trackable expenses and they can fly coach just like most people. Do you think they aren't flying on your dime now? It's time to pull those animals out of their country club and put them in the barnyard with the rest of the animals.
I have seen the mold and filth we expect our soldiers, sailors and airmen to live in. F**k civilian federal employees.
Oh here we go again with the "boo hoo my daughter is in the service and she isn't being treated like a princess". It's great she joined and all but... every third post you make sounds like that.
We should build an apartment complex and meeting room in south New Mexico, move Congress out there. They don't need to be in D.C.
Interesting that when they built the wall in towns and cities (San Diego for instance) the illegal crossings moved toward the desert for the most part. No mechanism is perfect but walls work. I hope Trump starts repeating daily how the Democrats are choosing illegal aliens over Americans. Pull one out of their cry bag and start trotting up someone affected by illegals, everyday someone new. Do it at the WH press conference, trot them out tell the story then end the press conference.
I always thought most of congress earned most of their money ("fortune") from NOT their salary. i.e. it's mostly irrelevant if they make 100k vs. 200k a year?
Are you foolish enough to believe they are there doing the job for the betterment of the country? It's always about money...even more so for those proclaiming at the top of the voice that it isn't.
