That was included Jean:
"A good house and senate cleaning is well over due. O! and take your out dated democrat buddies with you, none of you will be missed.
It's way past time to remove the self-indulgent
egotistical greedy sociopaths ( They never recognize the rights of others and see their self-serving behaviors as permissible. They appear to be charming, yet are covertly hostile and domineering, seeing their victim as merely an instrument to be used. They may dominate and humiliate their victims. of the government.)

Summary:
28 votes total, 23 yeses,(82%); 5 nos,(17%)
:: 1% margin of error ::
The posts represent (IMO) a cross-section of typical Americans, considering those on welfare didn't participate 'as much'.
Some suggestions made:
#raise minimum wage - It's always been my opinion wages {same as SS} should be based on the 'inflation rate'. When =things= cost more you should automatically get more. If the minimum wage was increased consumers would be paying more for many products, but it would be based on consumption and not welfare dollars, only those that benefited would pay.
#privatize welfare - the following quote is 100% correct.
If this government system was turned over to private enterprise it would run much more efficiently.
# completely change the Welfare system - welfare should be like 'unemployment' it only runs for _so long_, then you must either reapply are find work.
Welfare recipients must prove disabilities and any other reasons for getting government assistance.
[[ All welfare recipients should be drug tested ]]
She does get confused sometimes??? But ShadyBits came to the rescue;
(IMO) prison sentences should be much more active in welfare fraud or exploiting the system. Media coverage should be mandatory.

Harry Reid has just taken advantage of a loophole in the law that allows leaders in Congress to exempt their committee or leadership staffs. More priority for government employees. Where is Amendment #28 Americans are struggling with the ongoing Obamacare train wreck every day. They’re losing the coverage they liked, seeing their premiums skyrocket, and finding it hard to enroll in anything new. But what makes it even worse is that while all this is going on, Washington elites have carved out a special exemption and subsidy for themselves. I’ve been a vocal opponent of Obamacare from the beginning. But there was one key provision of the Obamacare statute that I strongly supported: the section that states clearly that every member of Congress and all of their staff must be treated just like other Americans who are being forced out of plans they liked and onto the Obamacare exchange. I thought this provision was really important for two reasons. First, as a matter of principle, Washington should be treated like the rest of America, not like an elite ruling class. Second, as a very practical matter, making the chefs eat their own cooking does wonders for the quality of what comes out of the kitchen. But most of Washington strongly disagrees. Threatened by these radical ideas, Senate majority leader Harry Reid and others stepped in to protect their own. After they waged a fierce lobbying campaign and President Obama personally weighed in, the Obama administration issued an illegal administrative fix to take the sting out of this section of the Obamacare statute. It gives members of Congress and their staff members who go to the Obamacare exchange a special subsidy that is unavailable to any other Americans. It also creates a loophole by which many staff members don’t have to go to the exchange at all, but only those designated as “official” — with that decision left up to each individual member of Congress. nationalreview.com/article/364347/show-your-exemption-washington-david-vitter |

Trey Gowdy U.S. Representative Harold Watson "Trey" Gowdy III is an American politician who has been the U.S. Representative for South Carolina's 4th congressional district since 2011. He is a member of the Republican Party. [[ Damn he's GOOD!]] The post on Jonathan Turley’s testimony at yesterday’s House hearing was well received, so here’s another seven minutes on executive power grabs from the same proceeding. Simple question from Gowdy to the legal panel: How far can Obama go? Now that he’s claimed the royal prerogative to not enforce immigration law against young illegals, not enforce O-Care’s employer mandate against businesses, and not enforce the new rules about “essential benefits” against insurers who un-cancel old plans, what else can he choose not to enforce? If Congress imposes a mandatory minimum sentence for certain offenses, presumably Obama could refuse to enforce that by granting blanket commutations for thousands of people convicted of those offenses. Presumably he could also refuse to enforce election laws. Why not? What’s the limiting principle? nation.foxnews.com/2013/12/05/gowdy-liberal-law-prof-if-obama-can-ignore-parts-obamacare-could-he-ignore-election-laws |

Sarah Hall Ingram, the IRS executive in charge of the tax exempt division in 2010 when it began targeting conservative Tea Party, evangelical and pro-Israel groups for harassment, got more than $100,000 in bonuses between 2009 and 2012. More recently, Ingram was promoted to serve as director of the tax agency's Obamacare program office, a position that put her in charge of the vast expansion of the IRS' regulatory power and staffing in connection with federal health care, ABC reported earlier today. Ingram received a $7,000 bonus in 2009, according to data obtained by The Washington Examiner from the IRS, then a $34,440 bonus in 2010, $35,400 in 2011 and $26,550 last year, for a total of $103,390. Her annual salary went from $172,500 to $177,000 during the same period. This clip more than proves Sarah is part of the White House 'click'. www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=MnWK-rodi2MExcerpt above: washingtonexaminer.com/updated-irs-tax-exemptionobamacare-exec-got-103390-in-bonuses-did-obama-ok-them/article/2529899PS: In case you don't click & read the above website I want you to know she is now in charge of ACA on all oversites of IRS affiliations. I can not find any information on Sarah before she became an IRS employee-seems 'curious' to me? |

Vice President Biden's $583K Shangri-la Hotel Bill in Singapore
Vice President Joe Biden's $585,000 hotel bill for a Paris visit early in 2013 focused a lot of attention on the issue of the high cost of VIP travel. Even as Biden is currently on a swing through the Far East, the State Department has posted a $583,000 contract with the Shangri-la Hotel in Singapore for the vice president's three-day/two-night stay this past July, his most recent Far East visit. Though the online Justification and Approval document is somewhat poor quality, it indicates a need for a hotel "to host a VIP visit of over 250 guests at during the principal's visit," the "principal" in this case being the vice president:
That's $1000.00 + dollars per night. Can you afford that while on tour or vacation?
