      Yes, it is the problem. The idea that we need to have a certain amount of funds set aside in order to spend while the other side doesn't have to adhere to these same rules when they're in power and it's time to deliver, is problematic and basically just handcuffing yourself for no reason.

        The replies are golden.

        @NBCNews: Hours after being sworn in, Democratic Rep. Rashida Tlaib appears to tell a cheering crowd of supporters that the Democrats “are gonna impeach the motherf---er" in a video posted online. https://nbcnews.to/2CNE99x

          They can and routinely override PAYGO to pass whatever they want so it's a lot of complaining about very little.

            Yup. What good is a law if it turns into a whim?

              Why are people claiming that is high school?
              AOC is wearing a BU t-shirt and atop CLA building on the Charles river campus.

              Cute too.

                        If they redraw the 6th, they'll have to impact the 8th and other adjacent districts. They might as well start with a clean slate and fix the mess that O'Malley & Miller created.

                          Again they tried to eliminate an argument the GOP was making that was crushing them at the ballot box. It failed miserably because the GOP doesn't fight fair and the electorate is sick with a case of mass ignorance and delusion.

                          Same thing with Warren's DNA test.

                          But, if Nancy and the people in power want to keep it they must have their reasons. And they're smarter than I am so I'm not going to fault them for it.

                            No one needs to lose more than Collins. She is the poster child of what is wrong with this country. More than any other I can think of.

                              Michigan voters did it already. Well, until Michigan Republicans find some way to hamstring it.
