we don’t even know what this money is really for and where it winds up.. probably in some pockets of the people that work in these offices where they do no work at all.. just sit at their desk for 8 hrs. and go home..more money the government is just giving to the rich.

Sorry individual to represent us. Never in your local offices at all. Hide and try to do well for your boss. My part of Virginia deserves better.
