Federal Minimum Wage.
The Federal Minimum Wage. The U.S. Dollar (as all nations' currencies), is of variable value within time. That's why USA's Social Security retirement benefits are annually adjusted to a cost-price index). Congressional Democrats had previously submitted a proposal, (H.R. 582, 1st session of... -
There is a reason the Democrats don't want anyone to read their bills
Remember when Nancy Pelosi infamously stated, "we have to pass the bill before we can find out what's in it"? Democrats stuff bills full of illegal, immoral, and unaffordable nonsense that no rational human would ever pass if they got to read the bill in its entirety before voting on it. We're...- [email protected]

Democratic congressional leadership failures.
Democratic congressional leadership failures. The federal minimum wage rate, and all of sponsored Democrat congressional members proposals to modify that rate, are expressed as in terms of U.S. Dollars. The U.S dollar is not of a constant value; thus a minimum wage rate' value determined by and... -
Reform: The Legislation Edition
The left has turned the federal government into an oppressive legislation machine - just churning out an endless new array of "you can't do this either" 24x7x365. Legislation should be passed only when it is absolutely necessary. Of course, the litmus test for that will be near nonexistent for...- [email protected]

Bad precedent to penalize Greene

Congressional votes of censure.
Congressional votes of censure. A Congressional House or Senate vote of censure has little if any legal standing within federal law. Republican and Democratic members of both chambers should as an act of bi-partisan agreements, censure President Donald Trump for the inclusions and absences of... -

Iran, Declaration of War, and Congress
I don't believe they have yet, but what scenario would play out should Iran declare a "state of war" against the US? According to the War Powers Act, Congress alone has the ability to declare war. Although, the War Powers Act was ignored by President Obama on two separate occasions, once in... -

The extreme division between the Democrats & Republicans
What troubles me greatly is the wide division in this country politically at this time. It seems to be the worst division that has ever existed between the two parties since 1945.
