Congre$$ can exempt itself from almost any law these days, it seems.Workers replace lightbulbs on the East Front of the U.S. Capitol in Washington, January 24, 2011.

Not knowing any details, but understanding LIBERALS and DEMS, I read that to mean DOD has to be chopped - no cuts in social programs. The Kenyan has already stated Social Security is off the chopping block.
