NAFA gave us the SHAFTA.... and it was all downhill from there.

The standard of living in the USA is going down by exactly the same amount that the standard of living is increasing in China.

Still.. nothing has changed.. (except Congress granted thenselves a pay raise.)

They pulled the pay raise off the table when the MSM found out about it... but they will sneak it through on some rider on an obscure bill.

You can always count on CONgress to do the wrong thing.
