The House Rules: The People Vs. The House
Will they vote on eliminating the ex house members salaries and healthcare?
We'll be back with our figures later.
Something to think about...
Filibuster(definition): To go to work and not work....but still get paid.
"A Filibuster is a type of parlementary procedure. Specifically, it is a form of obstruction in a legislature or other decision-making body whereby a lone member can elect to delay or entirely prevent a vote on a proposal."

People Vs. Congress Part One.
STRAIGHT FROM THE FOXES DEN: At the time of publication we are $14,072,721,571,974.05 in national debt.
Since around September 2007 the national debt has been increasing by about 4.17 billion a day! This figure may not be much compared to the over all deficit but we pay an estimated $28,188,000 per year for ex senators that "we think" receive healthcare who don't contribute a vote for anything. Unemployment "supposedly" at the max is 99 weeks that politicians want to take away. But their unemployment last a lifetime! Do they have a socialist healthcare system? Just asking. Currently our senators make $174,000 a year and thats not counting what they get for their staff and security. Well... we aren't for sure they get an allowance for staff but its makes you wonder what that figure would be. Our ex senators as established by the 28 million dollar figure above are also getting the $174,000 a year(as of now) paycheck. Every time congress votes itself a raise these unemployed politicians receive "supposedly" the same amount. Why are they not limited to the same standards as the american worker? For years you have heard politicians talk about cleaning up the neighborhoods maybe they should start at home.
This is only the beginning of the think-tank at the foxes den. Theres more to come
and remember we're not the Tea Party we're THE PARTY.
Qoute for the day: No taxation without representation.
