2. What this country needs are profitable workhouses
(forced labor camps), investment opportunities in debtor detention facilities and more growth potential in free market prisons and charter schools. Merry Christmas. :evilgrin:

4. I have a way to pay for it.
Make every Republican live on the compensation that goes with the job minus 500.00. no medical care and no other benefits. health care etc. tax them at 40%. Sounds good to me.

5. the hypocrisy is mind-boggling . . . and he doesn't even see it!
no unemployment extension because it's not paid for but yes to unpaid-for tax cuts. he barely took a breath between those 2 statements!

11. What is the role of a lame duck congress he asks ?
Simple, get paid for doing nothing on the job while we pay for your health-care benefits
while going without any of our own ? Sounds a bit like being a free-loader.

They only work on average of 180 days a year and they don't want to work hard when the
country so direly needs them to ?

It shows the stupidity of the people who stand for this. Millions of people in dire straights
without a job, on the verge of losing their homes and families, while we pay for their health-care
benefits and hear them talk about nothing will be done before the next session ?

This is one whacked out world.
