The elites really do hate you: Food bill snuck in last minute by establishment gives $1+ billion to Obama
2016-04-13
Congressman Doug Lamborn:

Last night, the House of Representatives snuck through a food bill that authorizes President Obama over a billion dollars to "promote global food security." Instead of allowing normal consideration and debate, this bill was rushed through with only a 40-minute debate with no possibility for amendments.

I opposed this bill, and I am disappointed that our leadership would schedule this expensive bill at a time when many Representatives were absent or did not have enough time to fully consider it. This process is a perfect example of the reason so many people in Colorado and around our nation are frustrated with Congress. Backdoor deals and sped-through legislation are not a responsible way to represent the American people.
The elites keep doing everything they can to steal from us to line their pockets

#8  The foxes are most definitely in the hen house. Modern day cons. In the old days these slickers were either run out of town or they knew when it was time to move on. Politicians don't have to move on.

#6  It takes three elections to flush all of the clingers. We better get started before we are knee deep in dung.

#2  It starts at the top Procopius2k. Forcing a president on them that would veto this crap while replacing congressmen and senators during elections that keep voting for this crap is a start.

Term limits are another with a ban on congressmen becoming lobbyists another.

I really don't have much hope of it happening until the economy really come crashing down and half the country is voting to leave this train wreck... but I still try.

#1  the House of Representatives - that would be the GOP controlled House of Cronies? Tell me again how it will all be fixed by getting the 'right man' in the position to influence this type of behavior.
