The picture shows the source of the lack of brain cells in the House.

Everything is about race to NBC. The NBC racist behavior has spread to CNBC.

There’s certainly a lack of diversity in that crew pictured.

Well the average age of congress is about 60. The majority of them need to retire and allow younger people to run. We need fresh idea and new perspective of doing things.

Who cares about diversity if they hate their country? These 4 are terrible for the country and what it's going through right now. These 4 brauds should go spend a year in Somalia, China and Yemen then come back and see if they still despise America.

Our solution is a basic income funded by sales and trade tax on stock markets...wages indexed tied to corporate profits that allow worker/consumers to keep up with growth. Poverty result of concentrated wealth barriers to good incomes racism ageism discrimination

House and senate members are voted not appointed
