Snake Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) on Wednesday persuaded GOP lawmakers to postpone a vote on a measure to bring back legislative earmarks. "Based on the comments by members, it was likely that an earmark amendment would have passed," a GOP source in the room told The Hill. "Ultimately, the speaker stepped in and urged that we not make this decision today.” "We just had a 'drain the swamp' election," Ryan said in a private meeting of the House Republican conference, according to CNN. "Let's not just turn around and bring back earmarks two weeks later." Certain members can take this as a marker... If these dipshits in congress didn't get the fucking message we sent last week, they do it at their own demise. http://thehill.com/homenews/house/306443-ryan-stops-vote-on-bringing-back-earmarks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who's wages? Public sector? Private sector? Upper middle class? Lower middle class? Union or non-union? Does everybody need to make more in the next 4 years?

I'm thinking with a trillion dollars in infrastructure spending looming that the desire for earmarks could be strong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I disagree that spending isn't an issue spin is right on this. Jobs and income going up are most important with the working class that won Trump the election. Lets be real they voted for libs since Reagan so govt spending isn't that huge to this group of voters. A surprisingly high number of people are concerned with one thing, what their hourly wage or weekly salary is on their check stub.
