    “y’all know that Congress doesn’t control things like private pensions, 401Ks, or average wages, right?”

    This is wrong on so many levels. Let’s start with this: Who made pensions and regulates them? Hmmmmmm

      Even then it’s about who is enforcing or checking it.

      All this inside trading is supposedly illegal to be doing while in Congress but there it be happening.

      No one blinks.

      And a president claiming to go for third term.

      And people are fearing this as an actual threat that could happen.

      So who is pumping the brakes here? Looks like a whole lotta ppl going “well it looks good on paper” and then doing a whole lotta nothing after waving said paper around.
