The nutcase shouldn’t be in Congress, but in the mental hospital. I think he, Hank Johnson and Shelia Jackson Lee is trying to dumb down Congress. ( I think their IQ combined is 1.)
Had a friend who was manager over about 10 discount stores back in the 70s. He said a store manager walked into his office one day and announced “If I don’t get a pay raise I’m going to quit.”
My friend told him “Give me your store keys.”
The guy said “What? Wait! Can’t we talk about this?”
My friend said “You told me if I didn’t give you a raise you would quit. I’m not giving you a raise so you just quit. Now give me your keys.”
Mr. Hastings can always go find a job elsewhere if he’s not happy with his current pay. Plus, how can costs be going up? Obama’s economy is booming.
But... but... but... they all supplement their earnings with theft, graft, and corruption.
How about we allow them the raise, but with the provision that they can no longer score additional loot by influence peddling, which is the real reason many of them have become filthy, filthy, crooked rich, e.g., Pelosi, Feinstein, Reid, et al.
