Interesting how US govt looks after our interests

[Blondie121]

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.

Every single one of them are losers. I love my country, but I hate my government.

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.

Benjamin franklin said a government can not tax itself into prosperity

You can't have the fox watch the hen house. It is because they really don't have a boss, nobody to keep them in check. FREE MONEY,
