Makes me wonder if they care about the middle class like us. I think someone said the entire cabinet is bankers and billionaires. Who has actually done some ground work in the O&G industry?

For people who are labeled independent consultant like me, will there be significant tax cuts? They said something like less than 1% for middle class and 5% for the upper class

What happened to drain the swamp? I listened to 3 of these and 2 were accused of insider trading.

You might be middle class. But I'm not. And, no, I don't care about you.

You can listen to the hearings for names


buying stock of x and then 6 days later reaffirming a policy that helps x is pretty sketchy


especially when x happened 6 times.

Accused by? You could put Jesus Christ up there, Or the Buddha, or a newborn infant and as long as they didn't have A D by their name these shameless Democrat hacks would accuse them of every sin and crime in the book.

Exactly. Schumer's big stump speech is: "These nominees ARE the swamp. A bunch of millionaires and billionaires."

The term "Drain the Swamp" means getting rid of career politicians and burocrats. Not getting rid of successful people.

Tom Price is not a billionaire, nor did he take part in insider trading.

Piece of advice here: Anytime a Democrat on one of these committees accuses one of the nominees of something illegal, they're lying.

Nope, they care about their own wealth and power.

Prepare thyself for down votes. Do not question any of DJT's decisions or you will be branded
