Wait for it… it’s the great whoosh of hot air and gas emanating from the bottleneck of of government !

This could be one of the best ever descriptions of congress working together.

talk about ad placement … guess Diet Coke wouldn’t donate anything … I think mythbusters confirmed it must be Diet Coke and white Mentos to work properly … other sodas don’t work and something wrong with colored mentos … wierd, huh?

Congress and working together shouldn’t be in the same sentence, unless it’s a trick question.

Why? They haven’t done a thing for four years and counting.

Maybe ‘Skylar’ isn’t as absent of intelligence as I thought hewas. And ‘rmacprivate’ it has been more than four years and we keep voting the same ones in over and over and over to where they think they are perfect and can’t do anything wrong.

Like the sighting of a Unicorn !

since when have they ever worked together? or even worked…

If congress continues to do what they do best – nothing – the deficit crisis will be over in less than a month. And no one will be happy.

Look up Mentos and Pepsi on YouTube. You will be Enlightened.

I used to drink coke with peanuts in it that was my breakfast

Congress has worked together, every time they vote on a pay raise. Of course, the other party made them do it.

SS is NOT an unfunded mandate, it is an EARNED BENEFIT! And if Congress would leave their money-grubbing, earmarking war-mongering hands off it, it would be FINE! Since the schedule for 2013 is supposedly set, and they are only working 126 days, I submit they should be reclassified as “part-time” workers, and have ALL benefits and perks taken away. No fancy houses or restaurants, night clubs or golf outings. Let them eat cake (crumbs!)

“Unfunded mandate” is normally associated with Federal laws that make the state governments foot at least part of the bill. Social Security is a transfer payment from younger generations to the older. The older generation puts money into the system but takes out more than it put in – hence the cost to younger taxpayers. Even if Congress left the Trust Fund alone there would be no way to avoid this. Since the Baby Boom was followed by the Baby Bust, we have a problem.

Spookily accurate, if you ask me. Good one.

Basically, they’re like a breath mint that you drop in water, I’d say.

Congress does not have to do anything. Spending cuts and Tax increases will automatically go into effect in a few weeks. Wait… they don’t want that to happen, do they? ha ha

good one but then again you do come up with some great ones thanks
