Besides rooms for sleeping, the 12 members of the House of Representatives rented their hotel's fireplace-equipped presidential suite and two adjacent rooms. The hotel cleared out the beds and in their place set up a bar, a snack room and office space. The three extra rooms -- stocked with liquor, Coors beer, chips and salsa, sandwiches, Mrs. Fields cookies and York Peppermint Patties -- cost a total of about $1,500 a night. They were rented for five nights.
Our political masters have no class. We need to elect better scumbags.

My parents traveled all over the world on business. The company paid for him and my father paid for her. I see nothing in that part thats unusual.

Yes, but if we didn't, the lobbyists would gain influence by buying them hookers.

The Republickins are no better if they can't produce a plan, but they have pretty much been locked out of the process.

No you didn't. They have been pretty much shut out of the process. That is what happens when you win the majority. You control the process. Another reason why our system is screwed up. Republickins did the same thing when they had the majority to the Demoncrats. Both parties suck. And the Dems have done nothing but reinforce the notion that they are not one bit different than the Repbs, they just whore a little differently and serve a different group of business interests.

Why didn't you post the damn chart & let people look at it for themselves?
![]() Initially I don't like what I'm seeing. But that chart doesn't say whether there were jobs created or not - just the net gain/loss overall. Heck it could have created 50,000 jobs at company X, but if they shut down a plan and let go of 75,000 other jobs . . . net is -25,000.

Because I thought it would be a bit over the top so I posted the link and people can look at it that way.

Worry sets in among those up for re-election.

They should be worried, most people are unhappy with it as it stands.
The whole idea had pluses and minuses, when taken as a whole worked out to a plus for Americans. But by the time the far right fear mongers, the fat cat lobbyists, and Religious Fundamentalists finished their mangling, they've removed enough pluses, to make the package look like a bad idea. We can only hope with this bill as a base, it can be tweaked in the future, to be a good thing for America. But with a congress bought and paid for by special interests, and a body of voters without interest, I doubt it. ![]()
