The House and Senate are engaged in "The Fantasy Congress."

The latest Republican Budget balances the budget over 10 years by cutting $5 and a half trillion. They are canceling the Affordable Care Act, keeping the taxes, completely changing Medicare and Social Security payments.

The Fantasy Congress. This is not a sincere balanced budget, it assaults the American public to benefit no one. It is pure nonsense and politics at the cost of the American Taxpayer. Gaming the electorate. 

The House is playing with "Queen of the Hill."


"Queen of the Hill is a type of special rule from the House Rules Committee that permits only one amendment of a series of amendments adopted on the House floor to prevail. The others fall aside, even if adopted. 
"Queen of the Hill" rules specify that only the amendment with the largest margin of victory prevails in the end.

GAMES. This is all fun and games for the right wing extremists.

The entire mess is politics and the Congress goes on recess for two weeks following the latest 'Under the Circus Tent' antics. 

I wish the President would speak out about this before Congress leaves so the electorate can be called on to take their legislators to task. 

Please don't send these Republican House members and Senators back to Congress, they don't deserve recognition of having been productive or APPROPRIATE demeanor. They have no respect for the people.  

These people are engaged in fun and games. Just that simple. There is nothing serious about these antics and it needs to stop. 

Candidate Clinton needs to take notice of this mess of a Congress. She might not even want it when she realizes now ridiculous this country's government has become. There will need to be a strong Democratic Congress to even engage Immigration Reform. 

I already know it will take on the characteristics of the Affordable Care Act as soon as it is introduced for passage by both houses. 

Additionally, I don't know how anyone can say their lives are improved by the Affordable Care Act. If they are thinking with their wallets, they need to realize the old insurance paradigm could refuse to pay a claim and throw a person off their insurance. Don't even try to tell me or many other Americans they are worse off with the Affordable Care Act, it is a lie. And if it is a Congressman or woman making the statement, well then, they are very welcome to the insurance they receive at taxpayer expense. We should all be so lucky.

Unfortunately today, Senator Sander's amendment to create an automatic "War Tax" should the USA continue and/or enter war was rejected. If this tax was employed with the previous administration the country would not be in debt as we are today.
