Congressman leads charge to regulate USA online gamblingPrevious TopicNext Topic

Neither party does, although I think it's "Republicans", right?

The large majority of politicians are in it for the power.  They will do anything to keep their power, including throwing all the principles out the window that got them elected.  It's that way on both sides.

There is no such thing as "working together for common good" in Washington.  Good things only get moving when average, middle-class people get off the butts and actively do something to make their voices heard.

An example of this would be the border fence.  I think we'll finally start to see some progress, now that the folks in the middle screamed their heads off at the moronic ideas behind the almost-passed "immigration reform bill".  People are saying "the laws already exist for this stuff.  Stop trying to add new laws.  Enforce the laws already on the book and build the wall.  Let's see if that doesn't fix the problem."

Let's see now, talk about leaks,  if they decriminalized marijuana and taxed it like cigarettes and alcohol.

The tax coffers would grow by the hundreds of millions.

The prisons would have tons of room for murderers, child molestors, rapists, violent gang members, rotten violent people etc..

Law enforcement could concentrate on murderers, child molestors, rapists, violent gang members, hard drugs, illegals, embezzellers, etc.

The courts would be freed up to concentrate on all of the above.

The price of it would drop and remove the allure of a quick profit.

Jobs would be created and people might mellow out a bit.

Excuse me - Repugs didn't need teaching $$$$
