no are you? im 20 years old could I be a senator or congressman? Yes will I? 50/50 I will make a run for public office in my early 30s


Maybe by then, you'll be wiser too.
Telling people to shut up, when they have asked a simple question of you, is not the way to influence people, win friends, or get elected. It is also a violation of the T & C at ATS.

smarter or not, it does not matter. first of all they are not READING the Bills they are voting for or against. 99% of them is just listen to the party leaders and that is the way they decide.

There we go. We've found a way to save a lot of money. Instead of having 535 members of Congress, we can just have TWO, one for each party. They can get into a boxing ring, and duke it out. Winner takes all.

Neither. I was simply asking you to abide by the T & C. If you want to act like a thug, by telling people to shut up, when everyone on this thread has been polite, and obeyed the T & C, kindly go to some thread where you will feel more welcome, with your kind of poster, rude, and avoiding the original question of the thread.

Of course it is. But that's where it's headed unless they start LISTENING to the American citizens. I'm not holding my breath on that.

Yes, at some point, America will reach a breaking point. Today, the unemployment figures were released -7.2%, and that doesn't include the people whose unemployment benefits have run out, or have stopped looking for jobs. I suspect when unemployment reaches double digits in a few months, we will be at the breaking point.
