by the way that is 18 bills a day every day of the year. first congress doesn't sit every day second even if they did your telling me they could read each one of these?

I mean how do you even write that many bills never mind read them?

I'm glad their introducing the bill (not sure it will take them away from the other hard work their doing for us). Yes, my mute button does work on my remote but when I have my volume set for what I WANT then why should I have to reset it or mute it cause a ****ing commercial comes on blaring in my home.

I agree with you. Although, I don't know that it's something the goverment needs to stick it's nose in. Unlike baseball......

BINGO! We have a winner. I like the idea....none of the govt's business! Just one more place they don't need to be and will cause us heartache further down the road, no question.

The irony.

I wonder how many secret things were hidden inside the bill. Seriously.

 

[POC]

But I must say, I really, REALLY hate the commercials that are 10 points louder than show....

better yet, how much will they add to it on the way to passing it?

If anybody thinks for one second that this congress gives a crap about you, please stop deluding yourselves. They only care about obtaining and consolidating power. It doesn't matter if it is your health care or your TV, they need to leave it be. It is not their duty to regulate everything, and is not in the best interest of America.

You mean that they arent trying to decrease Medicare costs by saving our hearing?

I think this was passed unanimously in both houses, so Congress is capable of making unilateral decisions.

I would be surprised if somebody like Ron Paul would vote for this.

SURPRISE! - According to his website and Facebook page, Ron Paul not only voted for it, but endorsed the measure.

EDIT: Actually I was a bit surprised myself.

 

[rambone]

I am surprised. On the bright side, it chewed up some valuable time in the lame duck session.
