Never has the government been so infested with liars, thieves and perverts. I used to think it was a good idea having them all there instead of robbing little old ladies and raping children.
I am now of the opinion that we need them in our neighborhoods so that we can thin out the herd.
Another outrage is that each displaced worker will cost taxpayers far more per year to support than the $19,000, 30 pieces of silver payment, the senators sold their vote for.
Also can’t believe more issue wasn’t made about how a trade bill was so secret that senators weren’t permitted to take notes, or publicly discuss deliberations.
Shades of Obolacare: “we need to vote for it, in order to find out what’s in it.”
The Republicans have ensured their future minority status be being the ones who advocated for more jobs going abroad.
Unemployment, Food stamp (EBT card), Social Security disability payments, Section 8, Medicaid, college retraining education costs are going to further add to national debt and further necessiate more Fed fiat money printing, as we lose our standard of living and sovereignty.
Simply a disgrace.
I agree with your sentiments but I also believe we should give credit where credit is due.
Out of the total $1,148,971 given, an average of $17,676.48 was donated to each of the 65 “yea” votes.
The average Republican member received $19,673.28 from corporate TPP supporters.
The average Democrat received $9,689.23 from those same donors.
What that means is the r whores are more expensive than d whores.
A campaign aid for Ted Cruz was on Facebook defending the TPA and the TPP. They told me that I was quoting too many left wing articles and no one would listen.
Please try to inform them that all the opposition isn’t coming from the left.
Did Ted Cruz take money from the supporters of TPP?
I haven’t looked at the FEC donation records on Cruz so I don’t know if he did or not. Still Cruz looks better than a lot of the other scumbags tho.
We have the best government money can buy ...
We're all in the wrong business.

We’re all in the wrong business.
They’re refered to as prostitutes for a reason.
> I’m surprised at how cheaply they valued their vote and their loyalty to America.
That’s just what’s on the books. Politicians never report all the income / payoff / influence peddling funds they receive with the rare exception of a very small few in number. They use personal couriers to bypass bank depots / wire transfers and do cash handoffs. When I was working undercover I saw it myself. I was in a vehicle with another guy and there was around XX,000 in a briefcase that we probably drove about 300 miles to deliver to a representative that worked for the guy. That was quite a while back so the amounts are probably 6 figures by now...
