@failures art,
Finally, change we can believe in.
@failures art,
Only the House voted for that.
It probably won't even come to a vote in the Senate.
@H2O MAN,
Yes indeed let the poor eat cake...............
Now where are those plans for the guillotine.
@parados,

@failures art,
They think they can force it through by refusing to keep the government funded, meaning a government shutdown. I am surprised at how little coverage this is getting, although I imagine this will change very soon. The money runs out March 4th.
@maxdancona,
The repubs hope the electroate blames the dems. They dont remember Clintons shutdown.
@RABEL222,
The Tea Partiers may find out quickly when the people they elected furlough the workers that send out the SS checks they expect on time.
@BillRM,
Yes, build your guillotine and use the poor for entertainment. Liberal blood sport.
Did the left pass a budget last year?

I gotta admit, I'm really vague on the nomenclature. Senate means Senate. Maybe it's my misunderstanding, but it seems the both the lower house and the entire legislature can be referred to as 'congress', depending on context. I'm open to advice.
@roger,
The House of Representatives is often just "the House" and then there is "the Senate." Referring to them combined as the full legislature is when the use of the word "Congress" is appropriate. I have a dumb habit of calling the House congress by itself. It can create confusion. My bad.

Your problem here is there is a lot more poor then wealthy and becoming more and more so every day thanks to the GOP.
The wealthy paid for guards have never been shown in history not to be willing to turn on their masters when the mob show up at the gates.
