The government is not running auto companies or banks or insurance companies. They are, however, trying to lookout for OUR interests in those companies, since taxpayers have had to bail them out.

Medicare is NOT welfare, NOR is it FREE. We all pay into the Medicare system through taxes that are taken out of our paychecks, then, once we qualify for Medicare (through age or disability), we still have to pay premiums and copays and 20% of whatever else is involved. In what way is that at all "welfare?"

I want them to write a bill that forces them to write bills that ONLY PERTAIN to the subject at hand. No more off-topic legislation being slipped in at the last minute that has nothing to do with the original bill. AND they should be written in plain, concise language that anyone can understand, and be as brief as possible while still covering everything completely. No more subterfuge. There is no reason why a bill should have to be 1000+ pages. Most novels aren't that long.

Why could you possibly think a law regulating dog walkers, or the acceptable number of rat droppings in ice cream, shouldn't be contained in a military appropriation bill? Heresy!

The 'work for hire' affair was a fiasco which demonstrated the reason that there should be and now is a ban on individuals being hired as lobbyists for a certain period after leaving Congress.

IMHO, that SOB should be in jail for perverting the democratic process. Not that I expected he would be, damn crook.

How does what one drives for a car define ones complacency? Who owns a stockpile of automatic weapons and how does this relate to self indulgence and car ownership?

'twas attempted humour, sir, based on gentle mockery of a certain stereotype and a partial resemblance I share therewith; inspired by a grammatical ambiguity in the initial post.
