(2,226 posts)Hatch came off crabby lately. Reminded me of my father when he got in his eighties. Maybe there should be some kind of mental and physical test. The other problem with elder lawmakers is they want to live in and preserve the past they remember. These ideals lose touch with current reality and the march of progress. Like their denial of climate change. They have always felt entitled to rape the planet, god gave it to them, they do not recognize the finiteness of resources. Damn the consequences. Sorry...rambling.

(24,738 posts)who else heard Grassley.on NPR the other day say that he was cool with the estate tax roollback because people who work hard all their lives to save millions shouldn't be punished, in contrast with those who just live day to day wasting their earnings! I was stunned.
TH S IS WHO THEY TRULY ARE. They DO believe in makers and takers and they have it 180° backward!

Did you know that copper is a poison?
I'll save my pennies... then I'll make sure they eat them.

(16,928 posts)have posted that info. Now the Pugs will want to INCREASE the amount of savings for "corporate tax loopholes" and "corporate subsidies" - they're WAY TOO LOW!
Social Security and Medicare I'm pretty sure total more than $6 per year.

(8,310 posts)What is it inside of these people? What internal damage makes it so easy for them to hurt other people, to make lives even harder, to make us sicker while giving more money to rich people? What the hell has happened to all these people to make them so mean?
