Why we can't have nice things

[DK504]

13. When a Senator votes for Big Pharma or the Petroleum

industries they do so for their personal power. It is just as important for Senators to vote for the good of the country. These are the guys that keep the wolves from our door. Taxes, healthcare, independent counsel, etc. are for the good of the entire nation.

These senators don't have the luxury to vote as if they are state representatives or even Reps. in the House. They are the ones to keep the EPA, the Supreme Court, OSHA, Dept of Education, funding for CHIP alive and well. Senators are the entire US, Reps have a better chance claiming the good of their districts. Those lines have blurred with the like of Paul Ryan, Steve Scalise, Dana Robacher, etc. They have been about taking voting right, healthcare, public safety (CDC), yearly budgets, the Reps of the House have made a concentrated effort to harm the working class of America.

I haven't seen the Congress do the right thing in decades.
