Following today's discussion of bill names, a (sarcastic) suggestion for a bill in our Armed Services Committee simulation:
Initiative
For
Yanking the
Over
Use of
Various
Opulent
Tax
Expenditures in
Afghanistan,
Going
After
Inessential
Naval (and other military)
Spending
That
Takes from
Household
Income and
Spends
Your money
Overseas
Unnecessarily,
Abating
Resources
Expended
Abroad, and
Taking
Every
Reasonable step to
Redirect
Our
Resources back
In the
States
Today
Or, the IF YOU VOTE AGAINST THIS YOU ARE A TERRORIST Act. I...I have too much free time.
This blog serves my Congress course (Claremont McKenna College Government 101) for the spring of 2024.
ABOUT THIS BLOG
I shall post videos, graphs, news stories, and other material there. We shall use some of this material in class, and you may review the rest at your convenience. You will all receive invitations to post to the blog. (Please let me know if you do not get such an invitation.) I encourage you to use the blog in these ways:
There are only two major limitations: no coarse language, and no derogatory comments about people at the Claremont Colleges.
To post questions or comments about the readings before we discuss them in class;
To follow up on class discussions with additional comments or questions.
To post relevant news items or videos.
