[w8liftinglady]

Congress will recess at the end of the week.What have they accomplished?

[Lindacooks]

1. They saved invisible little dots in petri dishes.

Oh, wait, no, those are going to be thrown away anyway.

I've got it! They protected the flag!

Oh, no, um, that failed too.

This is it!

They gave themselves a raise!!!!!

[w8liftinglady]

3. lol..exactly...NOTHING-we need to focus on that

[valerief]

2. I'm sure their personal bank accounts and stock portfolios have

expanded dramatically. That's what they, after all.

[sutz12]

4. They kept "Under God" in the Pledge of Allegiance.

I'm sure that will deter the terra-ists. :sarcasm:

[Selatius]

5. Yes, as the previous poster said, they gave themselves a fucking raise

Meanwhile, it's been 9 years, almost a decade, since anybody brought forward any raise of the federal minimum wage.

How about if they pass a law that says every time they raise their own fucking pay by 3, 4, or 5 percent, they also raise the minimum wage by the same rate each time?

8. in addition to the minimum wage issue

i doubt many ordinary americans got raises of any kind

i'm sure lots of employers were able to use the crappy economic data as a reason they just couldn't see clear to giving raises this year, or next, or next...

6. Kept some of the worst criminals in America off the streets

Well, off most streets. The streets around the Capitol Building saw an increase, I guess.

[Yoda Yada]

7. Are you talking about the REPUBLICAN-CONTROLLED Congress?

The Republiican-controlled Congress has pushed through EVERYTHING that the Bush regime wanted, and sabotaged EVERYTHING that the Democrats wanted.

(Never talk about Congress without specifying who is control.)

[w8liftinglady]

11. you are absolutely correct-the REPUBLICAN controlled congress

[NC_Nurse]

9. The usual:

Gay-baiting, woman-beating, flag-waving, horseshit they've been peddling since the Pubs took control. Meanwhile, robbing us blind in behind-the-scenes corporate wheeling and dealing.
:puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke:

[liberal N proud]

10. Passed laws that protect big business!
