Naw, it was meant for hillbilly's complaint about how his MIL is being treated. Somehow I am sure that she is entitled to better treatment by SS.

The last bit was for Pete's 'why rush things'

And still they can't get any bill with hardened facts and numbers. Just the same old bullshit, "We'll make it up as we go but you dummies just go ahead and call your senators to get this passed."

It's amazing, how Congress has abdicated responsibility and handed it to lobbyists and bureaucrats.

Sounds strange to our ears nowadays, but we could sure use Hoover for healthcare (committee ability).

I wonder, how does a private citizen take something to SCOTUS. They seem to be in a mode to overturn precedent, how about overturning the decision that said lobbying was guaranteed by the Constitution.
