What do you think goes into the decision to make it exactly $3,800. Not $4,000, not $3,500, Not $3,800.47.

These Capitol Hill liars and sociopaths should find some other, nonessential issues to mess with.

Why Montanans don’t throw this socialist under the bus is baffling.

He’s a democrat and therefore an enemy of wealth. It’s the republican members of the gang that need to be (metaphorically) hung. If the party allows any of its members to vote for this travesty and still be considered republicans in good standing, I am officially no longer a republican.

You would think that they would throw him out, especially when they get the bill!

What stupid presentations such as this should do is piss off one Hell of a lot of people in this country, because it says to us all this man, and his “gang” don’t understand who they are, what they are relative to us, and they don’t have a clue, or care a whit about the Constitution they are supposed to be upholding as OUR public servant Representatives.

This all makes sense doesn’t it?

There is a long list of these manufactured crises by the left, this one is the worst, the oceans rising and drowning us all is a close second.

I'm no legal scholar, but doesn't this constitute an illegal Bill of Attainder, forbidden by Article 1, Section 9 of the Constitution?
