114th Congress

They will certainly take a meat axe to social programs. Functional or not.
My suggestion on where to start ?
...

Conservatives bash welfare and food stamps, but in fact the service academies are the most generous government giveaway going. But just try, as I did, finding out who gives away the benefits or even on what basis. That’s information the taxpayers can’t know. Three rounds of FOIA requests to see who admits and why have hit the brick wall of the brass refusing to answer. The military prides itself on accountability, but the admissions office of Navy wants to give away the taxpayers’ money with no accountability whatsoever. Why did a football player get in, while the high-flyer woman who led her class was rejected? They informed me it was because admitted candidates showed “leadership.” What’s that? How was this measured? (We don’t even require an interview to gauge charisma, which the vast majority of our students lack.) The message from the brass is clear:funnel the money to us and don’t ask questions.

I love how they wanted to sue Obama and impeach him for the last 6 years but their first priority for the new Congress is Keystone Pipeline.

Keystone pipeline I can see both logical sides of the debate, the idea that it's a job creator though is stupid. But it could verywell be a safer way to transport Canadian Oil to shipping lanes and that's something that has to be considered. As well as the rights of the states involved. I don't think it will happen because of the long legal battles that will come from it.

not even a week in session and the newly appointed House Majority Whip is being run out of town .

But hey, I hate both parties cause they are both ...

According to a Farleigh Dickinson University poll released Wednesday, 51 percent of Republicans believe that it’s “probably” or “definitely” true that the U.S. uncovered an active WMD program following its March 2003 invasion. Among Fox News viewers, 52 percent held that incorrect belief. Meanwhile, 32 percent of Democrats, 14 percent of MSNBC viewers, and 42 percent of respondents overall believe the U.S. found WMDs in Iraq.

And you believe ACA is saving people money...

Lesson here is that both party lemmings are dumb

[57Brave]

I believe ACA is getting health insurance to people that couldn't get health insurance previously

I don't believe we found WMD in Iraq.

I believe the DH should be banned

I don't believe ACA is the be all or end all health care solution (which I've stated a million times)

I believe that (D) votes m interests more than (R)

I don't believe people that spout RW rhetoric then declare they are neither (D) or (R)

I believe people do takes sides

I dont believe the great majority Libertarians are issue by issue voters

I believe a number of people claim they are neutral until their house is 10' under water

this might get good !

""If this is about energy policy, Keystone is about bringing oil down to the gulf and preparing it for export. If this is about energy policy, why isn't the Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.) Rob Portman (R-OH) energy efficiency bill first up?" Warren said at an editorial board meeting in Worcester on Monday. "If it's about jobs, why not the Highway Transportation Bill? Instead, the first thing up is a bill that is very divisive, that runs powerful environmental risks for this country. This tells me that with the Republican rhetoric—that they are going to find things for us to work together on their actions—don't match their words."
