They took a vote on whether or not they approved of a vote they had just a few weeks ago? Is this why nothing ever gets done? They feel it's the appropriate place to air their feelings? While the country is on fire and food stamps are about to be slashed? Holy lord...WTF?

Four decades of Reagan destroying the government from the inside brought this on. It didn't work then, it doesn't work now. And it's failed.

America may not have as much personal politcal corruption as some 3rd world counties but our corruption which has been legalized by these guys is the worst in the world.

We the people propose a new retirement plan for political persons who fail a new public post term ethics investigation.

Satire for the depressed and angered American:

After a Presidents term in office, and if the economy is in free fall bailout mode all administration members of that Party appointed or elected need to survive this new Conservative political procedure.

Surviving the ethics investigation motivates retirement into viable so called free market American systems with an infinite parole for that political person, and family members. Every IRS bulletin or stock market transacting or any money market venture must be posted on a money pity full file web page to alarm the public of profiteering perverts. ( i. e. Madoff, Martha Stewart, Bloomberg, or Greenspan obsessions )

Failure in these postelection events results in life time retirement in that individuals politically built museum library. Confinement to be perpetual to death, however glass walled for public visits observations, a little jack hole for popcorn treats, and communications for questions and answers the public needs to know to prevent future political perversions.

Whereas we the people Initiate immediate modification starts need appropriations for museum living space with glass venues to start for the Republican Party post failures of Reagans and Bush administrations.

The jobs projection for such new world order projects are off the success charts. Estimates project new free educations, free healthcare for all Americans and a livable retirement with free coupon vacation trips to everyone that visits these new museums and the political persons that failed the political ethics investigation.

More over the electorate retire person will have special privileges with special souvenir shop luncheons and dinners. All citizen retirement persons get to participate in a lottery for free junkets to world class hotel vacation spa’s.

Moreover, attachments to supplement state level failure at gubernatorial corruption levels. Savings will be allocated to new souvenir shops close to the new world order economic malls for man-kind ascension away from one percenters in the free market of, life, liberty, and justice for all. God Bless America.
