The Democrats are back in power. Or are they?

Read the Washington Post about who's really got the power.

    Doc, I think you need to kill a troll. See above. Are they now going to start hitting your site with porn? What next links to terrorist cells by these assholes in the pharma industry?

    The democrats are fast losing credibility and have managed to do it in less than 100 hours.

    The minimum wage bill exempting a company in Pelosi's district just went all bad. I UNDERSTAND that the American Somoa Starkist Tuna Industry has never been a part of the Federal Minimum wage law.

    THAT is not the point, the point(s) are that Pelosi had to have known about this and yet chose to ignore it in the hopes no one would notice it. It makes no difference about how the law regarding AS works but rather in how it is percieved in and D.C. perception is more important in sound bites and bumper sticker slogans. Nancy COULD have easily stood up and said although AS is not a part of the wage laws, she and the democrats are going to work to change the minimum wage law anyway for AS. But like a typical moron politician she just looked the other way and hoped others would too.

    Same with this so called negotiation bill they passed. It's a total joke and doesn't do a damned thing about drug prices.

    Basically it's

    MEET THE NEW BOSS

    SAME AS THE OLD BOSS.

    Anything for the big money donors and fuck the middle and poor class of America.

    Democrat thy name is hypocrisy.

    rosethejet -- maybe not the best excuse, but here is the reasoning about Samoa:

    "... But in American Samoa, it is the tuna industry that rules the roost. Canneries employ nearly 5,000 workers on the island, or 40 percent of the workforce, paying $3.60 an hour on average, compared with $7.99 an hour for Samoan government employees. Samoan minimum-wage rates are set by federal industry committees, which visit the island every two years. ...Department of Interior testimony last year before the Senate noted that canneries in Thailand and the Philippines were paying their workers about 67 cents an hour. If the canneries left American Samoa en masse, the impact would be devastating, leaving Samoans as wards of the federal welfare state, warned David B. Cohen, deputy assistant secretary of the interior for insular affairs."
