I'm glad to see our congress is working on the important things.

Besides our government basically being a dictatorship now, what authority does the government have to tell a private company how loud they can play private advertising?

I like how they'll vote on this, but they are deferring the vote on the tax cuts. Really? Really??

They are going to get voted out anyway, so the hell with all of them.
