    Honestly I don’t know what the point of Congress is anymore. It seems like they’ve given up all their power. Why are we paying for their salaries? Is it just a place for rich people to get free health care for the rest of their lives? And a fat pension on our tax dollars?

      It’s the nations most expensive nursing home.

      5 congress members have died in office in the last year, it’s ridiculous. All Democrats too, and the DNC wonders why people are calling for younger primary challengers.
