Series Congress
Your suggestions for the new series “Congress gone Wild!”?
Of course it’s not really a series (yet). But congress does seem to becoming more and more of a circus. What bills leave you shaking your head? Reasons are encouraged and appreciated.
A couple of my suggestions along with reasons:
S. 247 – Cash for Clunkers Bill – Up to $4500 to Trade in Old Car — (Why isn’t high gas prices enough incentive?)
H.R. 40 – Reparations for African-Americans — (What about Indians, Chinese, Hispanics, Irish, Italians… ? )
The GIVE Act is the one that scares me. It would make volunteer service mandatory. “Mandatory volunteerism” isn’t volunteerism. It’s the government making the citizens work for it for free. I’d even call if “forced labor”. FYI, only government approved activities would count as volunteerism. Go read up on it. This is scary stuff and it has already passed the House.
