Blondie121 Posted August 4, 2013 Report Share Posted August 4, 2013 (edited) For those interested in how our government is looking after OUR interests - here is how hard they worked to earn their salaries. SENATE: In one week they have: Confirmed the head of ATF, Confirmed the Director of FBI, Confirmed the Ambassador to the UN and confirmed a "member" of the National Labor Relations Board. HOUSE: 1. Blocked money for Transportation, housing and other programs plus blocked the release of money from the Highway Trust Fund for road projects. SR 1242 2 Tabled a bid for the US to send aid to Egypt SR 1243 3 Sent a bill to the president to adjust student loan interest rates - HR1911 4 Gave the Dept. of Energy ability to block or delay proposed Evironmental Protection Administration rules with an impact on jobs, energy prices and US Grid power HR 1582 5 Voted (FOR THE 40TH TIME - my comment) to repeal the 2010 health law HR 2009 6 Refused to kill the Essential Air Service Program by shifting its fiscal money for 2014 in the amount of 100 million dollars to aid the deficit reduction - HR 2610 7 ON VACATION FOR 30 DAYS. Boy, do I have comments on this heavy workload, but... have chosen to allow people to make their own decisions about how hard our elected officials work. Please do your homework. Check out the listed bills and how your representative voted against how you feel prior to voting next year.

umbertino Posted August 4, 2013 Report Share Posted August 4, 2013 (edited) It's the same ( ole) all over the world.....Would take a collective rebellion & revolution ( which is unlikely to happen as the level of people desperation is not that deep yet in Europe and N.America.....) in order to change all that. Hit one and get 100 educated. Edited August 4, 2013 by umbertino Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
