19. I've wondered the same thing. For someone who's been in Congress for 25 years, the best

he can come up with is that he co-sponsored a bill for aid to Veterans with John McCain. I've heard him repeat this claim many times before I could not longer listen to his repetitive stump speech. I conclude that if you can't get a bipartisian bill passed with the "Lapel Flag wearing, We Support the Troops claiming members of the GOP" than you are not good for anything. Bernie brags about this accomplishment all the time. However, he's been in Congress for 25 years drawing a salary of $175,000 for 3 days worth of work, if that, when they and not in extended recess.
