re: #1 PeterWolf

I never cease to be amazed at how they’re always crying about the government’s fiscal inefficiency & profligacy, then turn around and waste taxpayer millions on frivolous, redundant committee hearings.

I wonder if anyone has tallied it all up: The PP hearings, the Benghazi hearings, the home-grown radicalization hearings (which essentially focused exclusively on Muslims instead of looking at ALL potential threats), bills to gut or repeal Obamacare… the list goes on and on. Then there are the government shutdowns (both actual & threatened), our downgraded credit rating brought on by their political brinkmanship.

How much has all that cost so far, I wonder?

Oh, and jobs—what about those jobs bills. Well, back in 2014 Boehner claimed there were more than 40 that had been passed by the House, but on closer scrutiny all was not what it seemed. Surprise! Here’s what Google turns up for jobs bills 2015. Doesn’t appear very promising, does it? But wait! Look, America—here are all the bills (H.R. or S.) so far for the 2015-2016 session, all 6,023 of them! Yay, Congress! // Now tell us how much that cost us…
