The Republicans in congress don’t feel that it is necessary to raise minimum wage, however they do feel it’s OK to give themselves a $30,000 a year “cost of living” raise. What a joke!

Well, don’t get me started on politics. (Too late) But this Republican has watched a storybook set of majorities (could have come outta some Tom Clancy escapist plot) end up as the most depressing disappointment since I’ve been watching politics in 30+ years.

Each party motivates its base with minimal progress on hot-button issues. (Parental notification for an abortion. DUH! It took 33 years to get that approved?!) Meanwhile the rapid transformation of the greatest country in the world to a big sludge-pile of fat socialists continues unabated, no matter which party is in power.
