  • When is it going to end? Senators on both sides of the isle stand up and say these things yet nothing changes the status-qua! Our senate has lost its overall insight to what "The People" want.

    The run away Fed. the militarized police forces and the burning of our civil rights!!! You ladies and gents need no raise. The senate has utterly failed the American people as you have all lost control and you have lost congressional power to the Executive Branch. Tyranny reins over Democracy!

  • Good Man

  • That creates a new problem, just look at Zimbabwe, the leader tried to print money to get out of debt, which lead to massive inflation.

  • I like this guy. He should run for senate. The problem isn't the leadership. The problem is that we don't have any leadership.

  • This one probably didnt make the nightly news or any front-page headlines, but it may raise your eyebrows, if not your blood pressure. Congress is giving itself a 5.8 percent increase in funding this year. The apologists in Congress brag that this years hike is much less than last years 10.9 percent increase.

    Congress is considering pay reductions for corporate executives who fail to perform. If they havent check recently their job performance rated by the public is below 20%.

  • If only they'd listen to him!!!

  • Printed money is borrowed money, we don't own the money printing press a private bank does. The Federal Reserve. When they print money, we pay interest on the value of the money, not what it cost to print.

  • It's ok, we'll never have to pay it back. We'll just print the money.

  • I was born 150 years too late. I long for the simple times that I never knew. :(

  • Amen!

  • Amen!!!
