Most people think when they vote for a federal politician -a House or Senate representative- they are voting for a person who will go to Washington DC and write or enact legislation. This is the old-fashioned “schoolhouse rock” perspective based on decades past. There is not a single person in congress writing legislation or laws.
The article is worth your time to read, not matter how informed you are about the subject.
I know it’s a pipe dream, but I’d like to see some journalist ask someone from Congress to explain how millions and millions of dollars for a study of sex problems in Pakistan benefits us.
Now that the Demoncrat$ are back in charge, Congre$$ i$ back to bu$ine$$ as u$ual.
bump for later
Maybe congress should take a little time to watch these Secret Santa video’s to see who really needs the money, NOT Billions to foreigners.
AMERICANS!

$600*300M=$180Billion in a $900 Billion bill.
$2000*300M=$600Billion
Additional for small businesses.
It is not just the Covid relief bill, it is the entire US budget containing everything any Congresscritter asked for, if his vote was needed to pass it. That’s the way legislation works - you don’t knock my pet cause, I don’t know yours, and we both vote aye!
Our great President Donald J Trump is certainly the only president in history that would ever get up there and start reading provisions out of a 6000 page bill !!
Provions in far away foreign lands. That has nothing to do with what the bill is for !!! He went on for like two or three minutes just reading these provisions
I can’t remember any president Certainly. or anybody except the house floor doing a stunt like this
I think it’s been highly embarrassing to Democrats and Republicans who live on this sort of “ writing free checks”
The district of criminals is a very very corrupt place
I would like to know the following:
- the foreign indivuals that were responsible for the giveaways to each of those foreign countries.
- the politicians that they paid off to have it included in this monstrosity.
- who put the whole thing together
Great article. Thanks for posting.......President Trump is the Great Disruptor......carry on Mr. President.
Nice perspective on how things really work.
You can’t biden a kickback for yourself if you don’t fund foreign interests.
Just listening to the news on Canada’s CBC.
To hear them tell it, DJT is a real SOB for not giving people the money that CONGRESS already said they could have. From their telling, you came away with the impression - how can he be so mean??
He’s such a brute !
Rage...watch this video Dan Bongino tweeted...hero...millions like this guy...
‘We The People’ are insignificant and annoying gnats to their business model.
Congress does not write laws or legislation, special interest groups do.
While all of this is happening the same outside groups who write the laws are providing money for the campaigns of the politicians they need to pass them.
The income of many long-term politicians on both Republican and Democrat sides of the aisle was completely disrupted by President Trump winning the election. That is one of the key reason why so many politicians retired immediately thereafter.
When you understand that any changes to this system will not be accepted by those who command power and affluence; when you accept their willingness to deploy government institutions around themselves in order to protect them from you; and when you realize they will use every system, including the ballot counting machines, to stop the American people from disrupting this corrupt system of self-aggrandizing elitism; you start to realize the diminished options for removing them from office…
