Ya know, I’ve pondered the thought— politicians are on the dole.

I read about poorly and flamboyantly spent money by the GOP— “meal expenses jumped from $306,000 to $599,000”

It seems most all of the candidates whine and beg for more and more money, there’s never enough.

John Conyers’ government-registered 2010 Cadillac Escalade, that his son was driving around. Why in the L do they need a Cadillac Escalade?! MSRP: $62,495

Members of Congress are eligible for a pension at age 62 if they have completed at least five years of service. The amount of the pension depends on years of service and the average of the highest three years of salary.

I’ve wondered if we should quit sending money to candidates/GOP and give directly to things we appreciate.

Adopt an elderly person w/o a family, this ship (I like the Hunley)...anything but give to those turds that don’t represent us once they get that seat.

My attitude is for chit of late, I have almost have given up on this mess.
