What Billmon says....

Billmon comments on the shameless republican congress who, less that a week after giving themselves a pay raise, voted today to kill legislation to raise the minimum wage for the first time in ten years. The Wages of Sin.
The piglets must assume that no matter how bad the juxtaposition of the two items above may look in June, by November it will just be another half-remembered trivia question -- like the infamous Dubai ports deal, which is being quietly resurrected now that all the fuss has died down.

They're probably right: There no longer seems to be any limit on what the devious and the dishonest can get away with in this country, as long as they're willing to be patient about it.

Sadly, I'm afraid he's probably right.

Not if we have anything to say about it.

It's a lot harder for them to get away with it if the Democrats and/or the media call them on it.

Like that'll happen.

Sadly he may be right as you said. Billmon rarely is off the mark. Even for someone who calls himself relatively aware I had forgotten that the DPWorld deal was still out there being resurrected.

Not if we have anything to say about it.

Wish you were right Flory. Just had a conversation with a nice co-worker who does not vote. One gem was how nothing the govt does really affect us.
