This right wing has been Speaker of the House is making $225,000 per year and has done absolutely, ""NOTHING"" he and his merry women and men has placed this Congress on a "VACATION" Path again and to mark being in session in office a total of 115 days out of 365.
Then when its time to leave on there annual and continued vacation during budget hearings they have provisions to attack the postal system( end Saturday delivery) and then have my right wing Club for Growth hypocrite that just got re-elected in the State Andy (worthless) Harris to sponsor a bill to attack the voted on initiative which was passed in the District, and this right wing Congress and especially Harris has NOT PRODUCED ONE JOBS BILL, what a hypocrisy of deflection of ones responsibilities.
I know a lot of us are upset with this Congress (11%) approval ratings up from (9%) but this crew in charge are absolutely irresponsible and we get two years of this and the Paul Ryan AYN RAND budget-----great

and it looks like evil won by default because good didn't bother to show up.

Without any brains he wouldn't understand. The Democrats need to vote NAY on the funding bill Thursday, defeat it. Remove all the Republicans crap that they put in at the last minute. The Republicans will be the downfall of this nation with their stupidity. They also have a bill that will allow a copper mine in AZ to mine in a sacred Indian land.
This is the mindset of the GOP. destroy our water, land and air.

God have mercury on those that voted in the GOP. They will be the destroyers of this USA

which Dodd-Frank says can't happen lest we have another financial meltdown a la 2008. Eliz. Warren is leading the charge. Ready for Warren!
