America... A Country Run By Idiots ?

U.S. House and Senate Each Said They Had Only 45 Employees–Then Signed Up 12,359 for Insurance on Obamacare ‘Small-Business’ Exchange.

(CNSNews.com) – Both the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives certified that they had only 45 employees each in order to sign up for the District of Columbia’s Small Business Exchange. But 12,359 – or 86 percent of the exchange’s enrollees – are members of Congress, congressional staff members, and their spouses and dependents, according to an appeal filed with the D.C. Court of Appeals by Judicial Watch.

So true. It is amazing how much trust and cooperation you can build in a man from a practice so "trivial" as remembering his kid's name and asking about the ear infection.

Of course, Trump would call the kid a loser. He likes kids who don't get ear infections.

If you can get arrested for hunting or fishing without a license, but not for being in the country illegally, you live in a country run by idiots.

If you have to get your parent’s permission to go on a field trip or to take an aspirin in school, but not to get an abortion, you live in a country run by idiots.

If you have to show identification to board an airplane, cash a check, buy liquor or check out a library book, but not to vote who runs the government, you live in a country run by idiots.

If the government wants to ban stable, law-abiding citizens from owning gun magazines with more than ten rounds, but gives 20 F-16 fighter jets to the crazy leaders in Egypt , you live in a country run by idiots.

If, in the largest city, you can buy two 16-ounce sodas, but not a 24-ounce soda because 24-ounces of a sugary drink might make you fat, you live in a country run by idiots.

If an 80-year-old woman can be strip-searched by the TSA but a woman in a hijab is only subject to having her neck and head searched, you live in a country run by idiots.

If your government believes that the best way to eradicate trillions of dollars of debt is to spend trillions more, you live in a country run by idiots.

If a seven year old boy can be thrown out of school for saying his teacher is cute, but hosting a sexual exploration or diversity class in grade school is perfectly acceptable, you live in a country run by idiots.

If hard work and success are met with higher taxes and more government intrusion, while not working is rewarded with EBT cards, WIC checks, Medicaid, Subsidized Housing and Free Cell Phones, you live in a country run by idiots.

If the government’s plan for getting people back to work is to incentivize NOT working with 99 weeks of unemployment checks and no requirement to prove they applied but cannot find work, you live in a country run by idiots.

If being stripped of the ability to defend yourself makes you more safe according to the government, you live in a country run by idiots.

If you are offended by this article, I’ll bet you voted for the idiots who are running our great country into the ground.

The number is a bit small isn't it. Unless my math is way off( a distinct possibility). at 45 employees per each senator and congressman there is around 22,000 employee total (including the senators and congressmen themselves of course). And don't forget their immediate families are eligible as well. So what's wrong here""???

from DC Health Link:
The US House of Representatives and the US Senate will provide health coverage to Members of Congress and designated staff through DC Health Link's Small Business Market. Members of Congress and their designated staff can enroll for 2014 from November 11, 2013 to December 9, 2013.

fhl, I hope you've been practicing your song.

They're employees of the gov't, dumby. Each congressman and senator isn't a stand alone small business.

I don't know where you could come up with your screwball definitions of everything, but maybe you ought to try zerohedge to straighten that wacky thinking out.

you sure about that? I don't know. 45 employees sounds a little high, but who am I to criticize as long as the taxpayer isn't paying for them. I already pay the congressman a lot of money plus healthcare and retirement. Do I also have to pay for his 45 employees? It can't be that bad can it?

"... Take a look at the college grades of any of the recent presidents or leading candidates... and tell me they are not C students... which is why they always try to avoid releasing their transcripts.

Ditto.

If I were trying to impress somebody... a potential employer or electorate... I'd want them to see my college transcript and know that I'd graduated Summa Cum Laude in hard science.

If you really are a smart SOB, that should be worth something. (Anecdote... years ago when I was managing money, I had a client who actually went to my college to get info on my grades. He then invested $5 Million with me... because, "at least I know you're smart".)

Then again... if you never accomplished anything and really are a dumbass, you wouldn't want others to know and hold you accountable for your lack of accomplishment, now would you?

I'd want them to see my college transcript and that I'd graduated Summa Cum Laude in science.

Why would anyone want that, to prove they're a scientist? Scientists are part of the global conspiracy.

"Scientists are part of the global conspiracy." Yeah right. The majority of scientists do not support AGW - at this point not a single day goes by where the theory is not further discredited with hard evidence.

There is only a small portion of vocal scientists actively focused on getting government grants by being on the looney political fringe and supporting "climate change". No serious scientist has respect for Mann and these other characters.
