Dems vow change as Congress ends session

Well, that is a great start, Nancy. Raise the minimum wage, so we can afford the energy to turn on our TEEVEES and watch the impeachment hearings that had damned well better be coming.

Lobbying and ethics reform? How can "lobbyist" and "reform" find their way into the same sentence, after all the horrible years of the K-Street Gang, puppets of American and foreign oligarchs? Nancy, you cannot reform lobbying. It's one of those things like house-cleaning bed. You just have to keep at it everyday. Scoundrels will always find a way around any rule you write.

Here is the way you control lobbyists, as they do not reform well: Make this one rule. If you are caught so much as giving a member of Congress a doughnut, you will be put in stockades on the National Mall for a month, after which you will have to leave Washington, never to return. Of course, we wouldn't want to be completely unkind, so we will make sure you will have the company of the elected official to whom you gave the doughnut in a stockade right along beside you.

No more huge megaphones for the rich and powerful: We are going to jam said megaphonea down your criminal, sleazy throats!

Good idea about lower drug costs, as we are all going to need more drugs if Junior and company are allowed to slide on without any accountability!
