Congressional Republicans

It is time those republicans in congress realize we did not vote in Trump because he is a Republican.  A vote for him was not a vote for them.  And threatening to privatize Medicare and Social Security after forcing us into the programs when we wanted no part of them is really asking for a boot in the backside.  If you do not buy, and it is expensive, Medicare when you turn 65, then your insurance, which you have paid all your life, is allowed by law to dumb down what they will pay.  They are allowed to only pay what Medicare would have paid if you had bought it.  In other words, they are allowed to keep charging you the same outrageous premiums but dumb down what you can get to around 20% if medical costs.  A very large gift from congress to the insurance companies for which said companies paid a huge kickback.  And Social Security.  Were you asked if you wanted to pay Social Security?  Were you asked if you wanted to invest your social security funds the way you wanted to?  No.  Congress changed the social security fund over to general revenue because they had looted it and nothing was left there.  Now the funds come in, benefits are paid out, and the overage goes into general revenue for the sticky fingered thieves to steal.  For every nickel they spend, they should have to show how it benefits the entire country.  No smoke screens, Just the facts.  And if it is not good for the country and they spend it anyway, then reimbursement to the taxpayer should have to come out of their pockets.  Any congressmen taking kickbacks from lobbyists and pac's should be charged with racketeering.  Congress should be held to a much higher standard than the average citizen.  As it is now, they are held to no standard.  They are worse than the Mafia.  And we are in a world of hurt.
