“Not providing decent pay, benefits, and a good pension will only result in only wealthy people being able to run for Congressional office. Completely eliminating pensions is a horrible idea. I have no problem making their retirements means-tested, but doing away with the entire pension system will o…”

“Deficit spending is sometimes necessary, especially in times of war. A balanced budget amendment would prohibit adequately funding our armed forces and would make it all but impossible for the federal government to take emergency spending measures when needed.

“Who are these people who take it upon themselves to speak on behalf of the entire American populace?

“All Members of Congress must vote against this bill. Big businesses and corporations want to outlaw class lawsuits because they know lawyers can’t profit from individual lawsuits.

“Pay raises should not be withheld due to deficits. There are times when we need deficit spending, for example, during wars and national emergencies. It’s a bad idea to penalize Members of Congress for ensuring the nation’s needs are met. We wouldn’t have so many deficits if Congress stopped buying v…”

“This bill should be titled, “The People Will Fall for Anything Act.”
First, undocumented immigrants do not qualify for federal welfare funding. That means if any are receiving any, they are doing so illegally and in secret. Secret means the government doesn’t know who they are.

Next, the U.S.-Canada Border also has incidents of illegal crossings and smuggling, but no one is proposing a wall for that border. If “walls” really are so effective at stopping people an…”

“The gas tax has not been increased to keep pace with inflation. It hasn’t been raised in decades. Vehicles are more fuel efficient, therefore use less gas, and that means less taxes collected per vehicle. Electric cars use no gasoline.
