There should be an amendment requiring Congress women and men to be in their seats five days a week so they can hear what these other amendments are being talked about and informing themselves of what they’re really supposed to be doing
Please NO! When they are in those seats, we are all in danger of losing our freedom! Less is better!
Clock in and clock out like every other American does. Lifetime benefits is only given based on hours served and public vote.
But how would they have time to golf, drink, gamble, if one is required to be at work for a full week? 🤔
@Terence Colligan well it's better if less democrats show up...
Looks like the democrats are there behind Jamie
I always find it an educational experience to see all the empty seats during these votes.
Infuriating..
But Gen Z is now old enough to run for office, which gives me hope..
It’s the same in the UK. There will be discussions of changes to policies or laws but there’ll only be a few people in on the two sides. Almost like most members of parliament, see it as not important with what’s changing.
Our tax dollars at work.Well supposedly
You shouldn't be upset. These are committees not the whole House, that's why the chamber looks empty. After these bills pass committee, they get packaged into larger bills that go to a House vote.
We demand the congress including so called Democrat’s buts to be at work and in their chairs if they are too old and sick then step down.
Our representatives should publish a weekly status report, providing us with attendance and summaries of their activities.
Most democrats would, and some Republicans would. But others would be against it. The would be claiming that the FBI and CIA have taken over democracy and are targeting you representatives. They would claim it is a woke agenda. But yet everyday politicians are saying to hold the otherside accountable. It will be one of those things that will have filibuster written all over it.
If that happened, would you read it? Pay vigorous attention to the report? Monitor the summary activities in full? I'm not being specious, I'd really like to know.
@Debra VanAusdale I think most would, the problem is there isn’t any streamlined process to do this, it’s really simple the report should show who was attended what their vote was what their voting on in a summary, with a link to the full details, also bills should be made stand alone no amendments no taking on 80 pages of bs that muddies the water on what the original bill was for. It should be I wanna do this, here is the cost. Yay or nay then done and if it was done like that then you could do wonders and a report would be a simple easy to maintain request
@@debravanausdale1063 yes, I would definitely look at all of my elected representative's reports. The level of detail I think is "doable" would enable the reader to glean the amount of time on legislation, campaigning, goofing off, an fit on one page. Thanks for asking.
Why would we believe what it said? Half the country doesn't know shit from shinola, and never will.
As an editor, I appreciate my congressman schooling his colleagues not only in constitutional law but in grammar.
And we need transparency on politician incomes in real time and source of those incomes.
and whether they pay tax or not too
Just like Trump was transparent with his taxes... Oh wait.
Ru2yaz, Never will happen. Why? Because most of their 'wealth' comes about from Insider Stock, and Stock Option Trading. Which they do all day, everyday!!
@@bonsa1guy Trump wanted to show his 0$ tax filing but according to Trump IRS didn’t complete audit 😂😂😂
@@vijayanbalasubramanian8837 That was another lie, they didn't audited him at all....
I wish these politicians were made to pay thousands of dollars for every lie they espouse. Truth check should be done after each speech and response.
Trump would be poor then
@@scottfraser5994 Biden would be beyond broke
That would have bankrupted trump for the 7th time.
@@mrwilson7617 Let me guess your a billionaire
They should be under oath while at work.
Another glaring error that Boebert made is that a recession has a very concise definition. We are not in one. But, it's surprising to no one that she doesn't know anything about anything.
Lawmakers' compensation should work like commission. They only get paid if they're actually getting anything accomplished. It's been working for me my entire career. That seems more democratic.
Imagine having a government that actually showed up and worked for the best interests of the people, wow what a concept! If you’re an elected official employed by the people, uphold your oath to the constitutional republic!
You do realize Reps are in committees during these times
The lack of basic government education in TH-cam comments is astounding
@@steve1340 You do realize OP said nothing about either side of the isle right?
Amen
Damn maybe we should put her in charge dang woman she is on fire like at all times.
The US is run by deep state jews, foreigners, and pedophiles. We're fukked.
It's the same here in Australia...empty seats everywhere. Their salary should be dependant on how much time they spend sitting in their seat.
If you do, they just sign in and the leave... it needs to be organized another way...
@@yasmeen6790 It is like any job. You are chained DOWN all day every day...and only the jailer has the key.
I agree. They should only get paid if they are present and in their seat
WHY..... MOST OF THEM SLEEP WHILE ATTENDING THESE CONGRESSIONAL DISCUSSIONS !!!!!
YOU ARE A WINNER!!!!!!! Most stupid comment of the DAY so far. Reassuring for us Ynks that deep stupidity is worldwide.
It’s disgusting to see all those empty seats. They run the nation to the ground and don’t even do their job.
They should have to sign in and get docked pay if they don't show up. Seems there is lack of accountability of them doing their jobs
I just love Jamie Raskin!!!!
Maybe ALL politicians should take a pay cut for all the work they don't do. Or strip them of health benefits.
They could then apply for Obama care. Give them the same healthcare that we have.
Love this GREAT man❣️
@@cyndiross7197 I'd rather #MedicareForAll: including dental care, eye care, hearing care, reproductive healthcare, and mental healthcare. As Bernie has proposed often, it can be phased in, starting with lowering the age from 65 to 55 the first year, 45 the second year, etc..
Private insurance will still exist for people who want it.
They do. It's called: elect the other person.
Boebert though is riding on hate politics. She doesn't actually do anything but spew hatred and propaganda. Unfortunately, a huge chunk of the population sees that as beneficial.
She barely got elected this time. Let's hope she is ousted the next go around.
@@valmacclinchy That would never pass as the corporations own the politicians and that would cut into the corporations bottom line by billions of dollars of pure greed income.
Glad to hear Raskin correct the rude misnaming of members of the Democratic party.
"Democratic Party"...what a misnomer
The chairwoman has to ask a staffer if she has correctly followed procedure? TERM LIMITS!!!!!
The people deserve transparency and accountability .. .. In fact we the people demand it !!!
IDK why she’s wanting transparency and accountability when the Trump administration had the worst transparency ever. And complaining about inflation when Republicans rejected a measure to cut corporate price gouging. Just another example of Republicans blaming Dems for things they have in their power to fix, and refuse to do so.
Good luck with that.
On both sides. Period... Both sides spend money. How much did Trump spend and how many women and men died before we learned the truth.
I would like an amendment that no elected or appointed member of the federal govt. can incur a greater than 15% increase in networth during their time in office. Any amount greater than said %15 is to be taxed at the rate of 80%.
And don't forget federal pay is frozen at $7.50 a hour.
15% is pretty generous.
Nancy Pelosi would vote against
@@rickerhart907 You must think this is a partisan issue. It is most definitely not. Love of money knows no party lines.
Based. Let’s bring back that 1940s, 94% marginal tax rate.
I would simply like to see an accounting of CAMPAIGN DONATIONS.
Yes, like the "donations" made to Democrats with FTX stolen investors money that bought the Midterm "elections."
Yes. Front and center campaign $$$ should be! Glad someone said this.
They used to be, but the gop passed a thing called citicens united that allowed corporations to claim money was free speach. Most of the gop are funded with dark money. Democrats like whitehouse and aoc are trying to stop it.
@@melaniejean85 Thanks to the SCOTUS decision (2009-10) of Citizens United vs FEC, it’s legal for Congress to not declare C4 account contributions and they can be anonymous.
Follow the cash flow of corporate investors and lobbyists.
Love how she's asks at the end if she did her job right like she doesn't even know. I really believe these TV congress hearing are all just for show.
🙄 yes, they all take off their masks when the cameras stop and laugh with their lizard tongues.
Lauren is what happens when you are socially passed through school and fail the GED three times.
Jamie Raskin, who thinks the Biden admin created 12M new jobs , is going to get sued by the just released from prison Q-anon Shaman, who was escorted around the Capitol by Capitol security, for defamation.
To be fair Bimbobert only failed twice. 😂😂😂
She embodies the term moron perfectly!
You really think aoc is much better? Lauren was at least a businesswoman. Aoc chases businesses out of her district...
No. This is what happens when people who have flunked the GED votes another GED flunkee to congress. Its bad for Americans, its very bad.
All government officials should take a pay cut until they get cleaned up, they are filthy with corruption.
I support that 💯% but what I understand in all our government officials it would be that game ummm oh yeah *the blaming game it's everyone else fault.
Rep. Lauren Boebert originally reimbursed herself $21199.52 for mileage, which would have reflected nearly 37000 miles driven. This was between April 1 and early November in the same year. Do the math and the time this would have taken and then say she isn't corrupt.
@@bonsa1guy vote MAGA ! TRUMP 2024 !!
I agree with the top statement! They are just wasting our time and money!
How to make them accountable is, "No congressperson's pay, shall exceed 5 times the minimum wage of their constituents. Simple and effective! It would get rid of the working poor, (so called socialism) plus they would not be able to line their pockets, at the expense of their constituents.

AOC is paid a salary of $174,000 Let that sink in!
Agreed
The problem with your sentiment is 5x is really not much more than their low income constituents already make. The middle
Income already make more than that, and it is the low and middle
Income people being hit the hardest by the GOP mishandling of the government.
Except most of their money is argued as "donations", all it would change is the Bernie Sanders and honest/new politicians would be paycheck to paycheck, and the corrupt would live rent free, what we really need is a cap on campaign donations by income, so to make yourself wealthy is to minimize your re-election capital, minimizing second term politicians that are useless or greedy, but allowing those who want to stay at personal sacrifice to do so, as well as effective leaders who keep word of mouth.
How about if we just pay them one dollar a year. The lobbyists can pay the rest they’re doing it anyway we might as will save a little money
"Gentlewomam" still sounds hilarious 😂
The initial intro for her was "the gentleman from Colorado"...
Dunno, I dig it..
She should be addressed as Congresswoman.
@@georgehenderson7783 Can't wait til she's addressed as former Congresswoman.
@@ianthesoccerref She just got re-elected
Did she really say that small business owners are in shackles? The absolute delusional on display is astounding.
Nice to see so many of our elected officials attending these discussions
Not 😂😂😂😂
It's because these amendments are being put forward during committee hearings. When it's time for an actual vote is when you'll see more seats filled.
Yeah. Both of them
Consider who is offering the Amendment. Listening to Boebert can be exhausting. One has to cut the BS, then check the veracity of her political bias, and then debate!!!!
Who would want to sit around while Boebert spouts nonsense.
Making the Jerry Springer show look more legitimate than our government. Bravo
yes Boebert's stunts, yelling, and obvious vindictiveness are pure Springer! 😂🙄
ROFLMAO - Jerry would be proud!!!
@@ricric9521 I think you’re describing AOC
Do you mean Raskin's Dorag? Seriously, isn't he appropriating the Dorag culture ?
@@itsmelaura1533 Either you're a magnificent troll and i love you or you don't know and didn't care to think. The dude has cancer, Einstein, and still has enough in the tank to whipe the floor with Boebert's smarmy wordhole.
No way she knew what either of those parts of speech were until someone told her.
Come on Jamie take them back to school. 🤦🏽♀️
I remember taking a debate in my political science course back in ninth grade. This is pretty much on par to those days. 😂
I JUST came here to say.. I feel like I am watching a High School debate club.
Every gov contract awarded to public sector bids should require public accounting reports to be published online.
Like the WALL contracts Trump passed out to his friends No BID?
I don’t think that woman has any idea what she’s talking about. She’s just blowing hot air.
That response was on fire 😂
How many members showed up for this vote??
They never show up for the votes, Boebert has drawn attention to it and is why she always calls for a recorded vote to highlight that and have it on the record, and is one of the big reasons she's so hated by much of the establishment house... she's strong-arming them to show up to work and actually do their jobs
Good observation! Obviously the issue is not really important ...
@@martinleuchs5403y reading. Comment above you (which states facts confirmed using official records) destroys your idiotic take before you even made it, but then again, so would basic common sense.
Imagine believing it's not important for Congress to do its actual job. 🤡
the only time you ever see members of Congress on the floor to vote is when there's an Omnibus bill or something hot that MSM has informed the public of. Other than that, they're MIA most of the time.
@@RedTopProductions assumption?
she is the ultimate Karen
She cites all of the things we are struggling with financially yet wants so badly to cut any assistance the people in need are getting. As if it weren’t too little help already.
We can't have it both ways. If you want tax cuts then that means less benefits. If you want more assistance that means everyone will be taxed more. American people are taxed to death. If the government stop subsidizing out of the constitutional limit then prices would drop!
The "people in need" require more FBI, ATF, IRS etc etc ?
From what I heard, she was asking for cuts in spending for those alphabet soup agencies that are being weaponized against US. Before you start flailing all the accusations that "I don't care about helping people", let me stop you. If we weren't wasting so much money on the behemoth Federal Gov't bureaucracy, perhaps we COULD actually help people in need of real help? But then again, there might not be as many "people in need" if the economy wasn't being r@ped & pillaged by a bunch of slimeball bureaucrats & Special Interests? #naive
@@lowellfultz1990 May I direct your attention to the new military budget? I’d say that’s a place they could start. Fucking unreal. As far as the IRS bullshit, I sure wish some people would actually take the time to understand what that money was going to. Not to fucking weaponize like you love to repeat all the time. People hear what they want to hear and when presented with any facts that break down the real deal they shun it like the plague. It’s really no use. I don’t get why so many republicans are scared of their own shadows. Everything is a fucking conspiracy. Everything is the deep state. Everyone is being paid off. Nothing is as it seems ever. What a fucking cop out. What an easy way to explain away anything they don’t want to fully understand. Learning is hard I guess. When your always freaking out about how the big democratic boogy man is coming for us, it makes you sound dumb and scared. It’s tiring.
This woman is crazy I actually feel sorry for her! She an activist not a politician there's a big difference bless her heart LoL
what politicians aren’t activists? let me guess Mario, republicans bad democrats good?? 😝 😝 your a 🤡 Mario!!!
Unfortunately Boebert and Green are not smart enough to be effective activists for anything.
“Joe Bidens spending spree” phrase speaks volumes about Boebert’s lack of understanding of basic economics. It’d be great if we had qualification requirements for public office.
And Raskin points out her amendment was proposed by him initially.
This Congress needs to get their act together. Stop the BS. It’s way to Jr. High and “ mean girls” considering their oath and leadership positions.
That's not what he said. also, gov spending isn't good for the economy
Cut Congress salaries also
Cut Biden's budget. Stick to the subject.
@@amathonn $25% of all of the country’s debt is due to only 4 years of trump. Meanwhile biden has reduced the deficit by 1.7T. Stop saying dumb things.
@@amathonn lol, the irony.
@@Leaky_Spigot The irony? I know, inflation is a Republican construct, the economy is booming and the (D) definitely, definitely haven't sent 150 BILLION + to Ukraine while sending 0 to East Palestine? Right? Right.
Their salary has nothing to do with this issue.
Boebert fails to mention that the economic stress facing people today may just have something to do with 40 years of neo-conservative policies championed by her party.
Never seen anyone constantly just step on rakes like Boebert does.
You must not be watching Biden
Amen!
She literally looks air headed!
Joe n

I wish I could get paid without having to go to work.
Interesting that Raskin, who is undergoing chemotherapy, is there doing his job.
And be able to give yourself a raise any time you want one!
Congress is the only group of "employees" in the world that can do that!
@@JusticeAlways many people across America are continuing to work while receiving Chemo.....GREAT for him but doesn't make him special....WORKING Americans do it everyday.....and to your point, it's a damn shame that people who have to earn their jobs and work to keep them are doing exactly that while those elected by the working people unfortunately have a non-disclosure that does not preempt them to being dismissed and replaced for refusing to show up for work....they get a 2,4 or 6 year tenureship....right, left or otherwise, at least those elected officials are in person and representing their voter base
@Robbie Johnson sheesh haven't you learned anything in civics class? The reason you don't see many ppl in the chamber is because this isn't an actual joint session, it's a committee meeting and other members of congress are meeting in different office's for the other committee assignments. That's how congress works until it's time to vote for the actual bills
NOT one person in this body is struggling to pay for essential living items…They’re NOT choosing ramen noodles over filet mignon…Just to be clear!
Furthermore, I agree with the commenter @Jim Umble all government officials should take a pay cut until they clean up this mess!
🧂Lily🧂
Gee-I didn’t know that LB could actually read and understand a bill-shocker 😱😱😱
It’s giving the time you wrote the whole report for your group project, then handed it to the loud mouth in the group to present it. Lol. She didn’t know what was happening.
She never expected the Marxists to agree with her
There is no way she thought of this.
She didn’t. It’s actually Raskin’s bill she is trying to take credit for!
If they're so concerned about low pay for Americans, why not vote to increase federal minimum wage?
You can only cut so much when balancing a budget... Sometimes you have to add revenue.... That's an increase in taxes. So who pays that? Why not higher taxes for the private citizens making over 1 million. And we can even do this at a higher rate after say 100 million, and so on.
You go, Jamie 😂
You could tell her several times, and she won't get it.
Politicians don’t like to take pay cuts, what they do like, is having the hard working people at the bottom of government, that can barely pay their rent, take the pay cuts.
You can almost hear a collective groan when she says “I have an amendment” lol.
😂 she has no idea how ultra simple she sounds 👏👏
lauen thank you , im so happy your on the republican side ! You are really help us democrats by your uneducated style and cworld knowledge , but you would be a great manager at taco bell ~ keep the votes coming
I hate to nit-pick, but the last restaurant she managed poisoned a bunch of people, maybe retail, where she can't hurt anyone with her incompetence?

That sounds like a personal problem. Anyone gain weight lately?

🌎: "They are forgetting who Biden is - B Bernie and the other men candidates and their votes. I Independents. D Democrats. E Elizabeth and Hillary and the other women candidates and their votes.

Intervention for learning insightfulness will help.
Just a thought.
Lame
Of course not. That would have taken about a month and she'd still be in the dark.
I love watching congressmen in the background when boebert speaks her own party laughs at her
Jamie Raskin i will keep you in my prayers. Thank you for all you do for us.
The bill proposed sounds good, however the presentation blaming all the issues on Joe Biden is a very poor way to express a real need for change. Projecting blame on Biden only enforces the note that these problems are not the fault of one party.
I mean yeah. Alot of it can be traced to wall Street and corporate lobbyists cash flow in the last few years.
Yea, the whole MAGA obsession with trump is not helping republicans to make way where possible. It is always a scapegoat game and while it has its advantages, you should know when its best to setup a target and when to not.
everything she said was true and caused by joe bidens policies. i wish she would have mentioned that when we entered a recession, the democrat solution was to change the definition of recession.
This wasn't bipartisan, it was nonpartisan.
BOOM!
And it started with boebert lying every other sentence about Biden
Pretty much the same thing, in this situation. Oh how people work so hard to write zinger comments
She just likes to hear herself talk. She's the republican a o c just there to grandstand look at me look at me she's acting every time she gets on camera
@@thesealerguys No. I don't think Boebert ever stole tips from her coworkers when she was in her pre-Congress job like Cortez did.
Transparency? They need to be impeached and them go straight to jail but you want Transparency WTF
She’s like the mean bully at school, that slept with all the boys, and all the girls avoided.
beginning to seem like that , given new revelations. What does 'escort' mean? Dunno . And dunno if the girls avoided her
Our government has become theater.
Burlesque.
It has it's own TV station... CSPAN...
Always has been

It's always been theater
Appreciate the full context of the exchange here…finally
Jamie Raskin has a lot of class. I like him he is good for our country.
"very distinguished gentle-lady"
BURN
I wonder who wrote all that for her?
Lauren Boebert - a "gentlewoman" 😄😄😄😄😄
Her reading ability is far below what mine was in elementary school. She reads in remedial miniscule fragmented phrases, instead of reading in full sentence, even two sentence blocks. 😂
Loren was heard saying later, "Ummm... Jamie, if a Democrat policy is supposed to be called Democratic, then why isn't a Republican policy called Republicanic?"
No...she didn't. 😂Give that freshman a dictionary, please.
Not a Joe stan, but Congress members used to use the Presidents title. What has happened to respect, regardless of party lines?
Democrats didn’t care about respect for Trump or any Republicans for that matter during his presidency, we are just treating them equally
@christhewalrus2016 not talking about the current situation, I mean in general. This is relatively new behavior - over the past few decades.
Think critically, this has been happening for years across party lines. I was raised in a military family, and acting this way was highly disrespectful and just not done. Regardless of who they are they at least deserve the title they won or achieved. It's just about respect, and I wasn't talking about you as a civilian (unless by "we" you are indicating that you work for the government).
Thanks for the response, though. I appreciate you, friend.
So, he uses the time for a long, drawn out insult concerning grammer..? No wonder people rate politicians as below dirt.
why would she ask for a count after it passed & delay what she wanted after she got what she asked for
She doesn't know how the government works.
I'd like to see an ammendment that ensures all Congressional representatives must have a High School diploma.
You guys fighting for High School Diploma and we have a teaboy for our prime minister and chief commander of the Indian Military.
While you're at please propose an amendment that requires all Federal Judicial nominees know what the second and fifth to the Constitution.....or that US Supreme court nominees can define what a woman is.
More Americans are starting to listen to Bobert... As well they should!
Jamie Raskin rocks!
100% TERM LIMITS for ANYONE AND EVERYONE in ANY
"GOVERNMENT POSITION" at ALL LEVELS, NATIONWIDE!!!!
Like 1 year at most!
What about the intellectual level?
No more naming things after people. No more selling real estate to the chinese. No more secrecy for public servants.
That makes the money in charge. Bad idea.
Intellectual level? If we are judging based on looks the left won’t go very far lol
Fat jerry nadler looks like a basket case. Raskin looks like he just bought a Harley Davidson lol
Little Jamie is such a drama queen. He’s gotta be the victim 24/7 and then tries throwing dirt. Tomorrow he’ll be back to the victim mentality
Also, the Inflation Rein in act is not actual legislation to do anything, it is reviewing what was done, not proposing any fixes. It literally is a bill saying what was already being done, which is have a report of the impact of Executive orders on the budget and it’s economic impacts. I actually think it might just end up being a red tape measure instead. My evidence being that it creates extra paperwork to review and even more hoops to go through even in needed orders. And it does not apply to state or federal emergency aid requests or matter of national security or ratification or implementation of international treaty obligations, so this only applies to domestic bills only. Some national security bills theoretically could have an impact on inflation domestically, as could treaty obligations.
It's for the PR.
As an English teacher, I find the grammatical correction hilarious.
I guess that whole "tax the rich what they should be taxed instead of giving them tax breaks" wouldn't be of any use here would it?
😂😂 this bill resolves nothing
but now so we can see how fucked we’re getting in real time😂😂😂
Do you think it's better if we don't see what money is spent on?
Woooo that was very important
-I’m neither a Democrat nor a Republican. I am however, an American, and a lifetime voter. Some will no doubt attempt to put a label on me..They’re wrong. As such I will comment: Over the past 50 yrs. I’ve witnessed and experienced our country grow in size, finances and number. I’ve witnessed both parties spending what our gov. does not have, and has not had for many yrs. In the past three yrs. the gov. spending has achieved a level like none other. The parties will spin it to their “flavor” when attempting to give acct., but have no doubt, both are equally responsible for the great chasm our country is heading for if it continues to operate in this manner, and there’s nothing to indicate a change by either party. Yes, the Dem.’s are far out-spending the Rep.’s, but the effects don’t care who’s spending, they just are, and will continue to be. If you or I.were to handle our finances in the manner that our gov. does, we’d likely be in Fed. prison. Rather than arguing abt. who’s responsible at this point, you’d think everyone would be working towards a long-term solution. But the reality of what’s happening hasn’t been realized by the majority of citizens, and whether by ignorance, or negligence, most likely will never come to this realization. The political machine has grown to a size never foreseen, nor intended by the founders of our nation. So, here we are, teetering on the edge. A question that nags at me: “Has this been intentional? Looking at the catastrophe at our S. border since Pres. Biden took office, and hearing only yesterday abt. an 800+% increase of “illegal immigrants” coming in across the NY state / Canadian border, combined with actions implemented by the current administration, anyone that has been paying attention has to begin to realize a purposeful design. Whether you will admit it to yourself or not, our nation is in for a big change. What that will look like, based on current, as well as recent past events, does not appeal to me. Maybe our politicians will turn this huge “ark” called America before going over. Not likely. Maybe I, and maybe even my sons will pass before it happens. That still leaves my grandchildren to experience what our great experiment called a Republic will become after it all crashes. Socialist / communist is the likely outcome.
I sure hope I’m wrong, but i don’t see or hear anything that indicates correction, only more of the same. I’d say, “May God save, and bless the U.S.A., but I know he’s not being allowed to, because our nation doesn’t even want to be known as a “Christian” nation any longer. Who said that? By the actions and events, evidence indicates that fact. Note that I didn’t state there are no Christians in America, only that we as a nation are not, and may never be referred to as a Christian nation again, by choices. So God help us.
Need a limit on how long they are allowed to serve.
I propose we cut the salaries of all congress to half and stop paying ex president’s. Freshman congress should only get 35 thousand dollars a year.
You know they're not supposed to be getting full-time hear they're not supposed to be working full-time you're not supposed to be getting paid what they're getting paid either they're only supposed to be a part-time job there supposed to have different jobs other than what's in the white house that's why you don't see too many people in there because they're sitting at home doing nothing or on a big yacht in the they were never supposed to be full-time employees of the and I agree with you cut their salaries in half let them struggle struggle like we do maybe if we took half of their pays away from then then they'll realize how it feels to be without
And an earnings cap
The less we pay Congress the more that only wealthy people will be able to work in Congress, or people taking bribes. So before you decide we need to cut their pay maybe think about what effect it will have besides your desire to punish them being satisfied.
I would rather see a death penalty for campaign finance violations or bribery.
Why pay them? It's nothing compared to the money they make from rigging the game in their favor.
@@lberghaus you may have had a point until you claimed a death penalty is more acceptable than a pay cut
How about you all be in attendance for all votes in the House.
Watching her try to spar with Raskin intellectually is the same thing as an infant fighting mike tyson in 1986.
So Boebert's reaction to Raskin calling her out as an ignorant clown ....is no...I am a greater ignorant clown!
No you are 🤣
Good to see some actual work being done by our representatives.
Sure. Madam Bimbo
What work exactly is that? To stop (corporate profits) inflation? To fix housing or medical costs?
@@AbyssalMelody doing oversight. Did not see a lot of that in the last Congress. It appears they are bringing a lot of government corruption to the people. Certainly a step in the right direction.
$4 a gallon.
In the UK, a few months ago, it was £2 a litre!
So £9 a gallon.
About $11?
Woah woah woah, no context or facts allowed in the banana republic party. Their only motto is grandstand, obstruct, project.
No more spending!!!! Work on THIS country NOT OTHER COUNTRIES...
Lol, that was the dingbat response I expected from someone who completed their GED in their 30's. 😂
...and had to take the test 3 times!
She made Raskin looks so stupid and small, that was the perfect response. I can sense your absolute blinding anger right now 😂 😆 😂
@@Youlikemysausage she called herself Ultra Maga. That's the most humiliating comment anyone has ever said.
@T 😆 🤣 😂 "Absolute Blinding Anger" 😆 🤣 😂
You do realize she's proposing something that will expose Republican Fiscal Policy for how bad it really is for most Americans.
@@Youlikemysausage yea she really got him, how?
As soon as I looked at the “anti inflation bill” I was like no this is an inflation.
The Dems always name their bills 180° opposite of what they want, it's their tactic to fool people. Example: The AFORDABLE health care act aka Obama care. We all know how that ended up.
No it's anti inflation. You'd have to know his these things work to understand.
@@daviddoucette8916 Bill's? He's butt backwards. Got it.
But it did ease inflation, you can burry your head in the sand all you want but you can't ignore reality. The reality is Trump did far more to cause the inflation than Biden did. Biden's policy works, and if you understood how politics work you'd see that. Probably should step out of your right wing propaganda echo chamber from time to time.
you didn't read the bill - you read a right wing "synopsis" of the bill
Ranking uses old Ciceronian trick. In this case, saying you won't call someone a particular name, while calling them by that name. Slick.
If 20 million Americans can't pay their electric bill, why isn't the House holding hearings on the utility companies.
As inflation is currently a world wide problem I don't understand how the Republican Party can blame it on any one national leader. It's like blaming Trump for homelessness worldwide.
Its because, correlation vs causation has been completelly lost on the GOP.
She proposed the ammendment, nobody objects, then she stops it passing.
Guess she didn't check with the people on her side that wrote the bill that dont want the public to see the results.
that's because she doesn't know how Congress actually works.
Not that she stops it for passing, she wants the votes recorded. So its postponed I guess for later in the day.
@@callak_9974 did it eventually pass?
As a sidenote, I think it'd be great if that bill were retoactive. Maybe it is. I haven't read it. But it'd be cool to see how our tax dollars may or may not have been mis-spent under the previous administration.
Poor Jamie Rascal, with his usually banal tripe.
6 months they ran on “we have an economic plan “ they use their first three weeks to come up with a 3 page bill that isn’t enforceable because they don’t know how to write a bill…
Facts
Hypocrites.
Sure they do. It's called inflation bills..
Remind me again where she studied even basic macro economics
Exactly. Like all Republicans Boebert has no idea how economics works.
@@ContinuousRefinement Why weren't the Ultra MAGAts screaming during Trump's single term as they slashed taxes across the board?
"The national debt rose by almost $7.8 trillion during Trump’s time in office. That’s nearly twice as much as what Americans owe on student loans, car loans, credit cards and every other type of debt other than mortgages, combined, according to data from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. It amounts to about $23,500 in new federal debt for every person in the country."

@@lawsonj39you do realize incentivizing businesses to grow their businesses, does better for the economy than punishing them for growing their businesses, right? Apparently Biden can't grasp that simple fact. Nor can he grasp that raising taxes on businesses, who turn around and raise the costs of their goods and services to offset those taxes , actually results in consumers carrying the brunt of those raised taxes? So when Biden says, no one making under 400, 000 will be facing facing new taxes, it is a lie@ because every consumer, down to the poorest will be faced with the higher costs of businesses doing business! Common sense, 101!
@@ContinuousRefinement Good one. .
Creating 12 million part time jobs is not the same as 12 million full time jobs.
He also fails to mention that COVID hit at the end of Trump's tenure and the economy was closed down completely by blue states. They're scam artists that create a crisis so they can say they "fixed" the problem.
