I hope God Knows

[Flanders]

Every time I saw screwballs like Elijah Cummings, Sheila Jackson Lee, and B.S. artists like Luis Gutierrez on TV I thought:

Everything the Congressional Black Caucus does comes under the heading of Black Ops.

Everything the Congressional Hispanic Caucus does comes under the heading of Bullshit the Gringos.

Those two caucuses made me wonder how many Congressional Caucuses are being funded with tax dollars. It turns out there are so many they have to be listed alphabetically. There is an opportunity for someone in the letters J and X.

This section is empty. You can help by adding to it.

The staggering number of Congressional Caucuses prompted me to look up:

A-Z Index of U.S. Government Departments and Agencies

http://www.usa.gov/directory/federal/J.shtmlhttp://www.usa.gov/directory/federal/J.shtml

As near as I can tell the combined total of both categories exceeds 1,500. God only knows how many parasites are vacationing in those buildings and offices. God better know what’s going on because members of Congress do not know what those Departments and Agencies do —— let alone know what the parasites do forty hours a week. Hell, instead of blaming Ted Cruz and Mike Lee for shutting down the government they should be lionized.

The thing that is most troubling is that 99 percent of the public feed tubs in both categories are funded by tax dollars for the sole purpose of screwing private sector Americans. Their very existence screws the American people.

Anyway here’s the list of Congressional Caucuses:
