PAY RAISES FOR CONGRESS

It appears that Congress gave itself a raise; albeit in a round about way. There was a bill, H.R. 156, that prevented Congress from receiving a raise for 2010, but our Representatives ignored it and tucked their raises away in the Omnibus bill. Not bad, since most of the American public will not get raises.

ONCE A LIAR, ALWAYS A LIAR

It turns out that Joe Wilson (R-S.C.) just might be right afterall. The health care bills before Congress do open federal health care programs to illegal immigrants. In fact, the Children's Health Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2009 already accomplished this. Under CHIP, Congress lowered verification standards to simply allow anyone who claimed to be a citizen, and who was otherwise income-eligible, to enroll in certain federal health care programs as long as that individual provided a name and Social Security number that matched. This information can be verified by going onsite and looking up Andy Arnold, DC Immigration Examiner.

Do you think that politicians will ever stop lying to us?????
