Good morning,Jeff. Only one problem with those bills the House sent.Most of them rescinded the bills already passed in the last couple of years,including Health care and even the new light bulbs:o)

How can you move forward by going backwards? My big problem is,I am retired and during bad weather I am stuck at home with CSpan. I also get emails from the House each day as to what they are voting on.
We have so many Post Offices named one Congressman said they were running out of post offices to name. And,with the problems there will be even less!
