Why are the fiscal conservatives in Congress practicing Omertà when it comes to all that is happening in Argentina? Because they benefit from the graft and corruption of the current system. Good luck getting term limits going as part of the national conversation.

That's the truth. Very few elected members are willing to speak out about it. Keep in mind that there's nothing to stop President Trump from bringing up term limits in each State of the Union address. Who claps and who remains silent will be very telling. Trump is already term limited - so why shouldn't Congress be too?

I’m a bit surprised that Trump hasn’t mentioned The Argentinian Miracle more in pushing to get the BBB passed. If anyone can move the Overton Window on term limits it is definitely Trump. A true master of the bully pulpit.

VA: Now if they could get just ONE tech guy or gal to completely revamp that damned process for filing travel pay online. I hate it so much I decided quite some time ago to just eat my travel costs for medical care.

Dems and messaging: About as much as climate change and other protesters blocking my roads are bringing me over to their point of view.

Not just the VA - most federal departments desperately need new computer systems. Agree with you completely. I'd add that think all honorably discharged vets should get option of same gold plated health insurance Congress gives to their staff.
