No time for taking up unemployement benefits extension but...

[Mass]

the House will continue spending money with field hearings about Obamacare:

Field Hearing: ObamaCare Implementation: Who are the Navigators?
Full Committee
December 16, 2013 | 1:30 p.m. CST at Eisemann Center, Richardson, TX

That same day, the House will only have a pro-forma session.

I guess priorities are clear, including when it comes to not wasting tax payers money.

1. And Where Are The Democrats

...doesn't seem like any loud voices coming from the left side of the house and senate.

They are complicit.

[Mass]

2. I certainly agree...

3. The House SHOULD investigate the ACA...

To all appearances, with the ACA we are talking about incompetence bordering on criminal negligence and fraud. Someone damn well should be looking into this, and the people responsible need to be fired, and where appropriate, prosecuted.

[Mass]

4. Sure, but the emergency is on unemployment benefits.

And if they have the time for this hearing, they have the time to deal with this more important topic.

As for investigated, this is NOT investigating. This is payback against Obama. They have NO interest dealing with issues of procurement and management.

7. Unemplyment and Poverty are my PRIORITIES

But I would like to believe they can do more than one thing at a time. Okay, actually I realized how silly that statement was as I was typing it, they cannot even do one thing at a time let alone more than one, but you get the point.

5. It's not that they don't have time

The bastards just don't care.

6. Well, elsewhere people have been jeered at for complaining the budget deal

did not address this, as in oh, didn't you get all you wanted, poor babies type of thing - so hey! extending unemployment benefits is a pony now, it seems. Stop yer whining. Embrace the BIG D - it can do no wrong.
