what's that run the country totally broke into a 3rd world country. the cash for clunkers was a super screw up, the down fall from that is going to be hugh, much more than you will ever know. Ask ferm if not due to those cars that were junked will never be repaired again so that kills every repair shop and parts sells and maker out there. plus now you can't give a used car away and the new car sales have come to a hault, plus i give it 8 months and 40% of those cars will be repoed.

BC I believe you are mis-reading that. The House of Representatives, AKA the legal mafia has an election every 2 years but only a portion of them are up for re election at each interval, approx 1/3. Done constitutionaly to keep the high level of competency they

have obtained being consistent.

Yeah, but when you only sold 13 in the prior month 14 units don't sound so good.....

Sorry Willy, The entire house is elected every two years.... "The term of office is six years and one-third of the total membership of the Senate is elected every second year. The terms of both Senators from a particular State are so arranged that they do not terminate at the same time. Of the two Senators from a State serving at the same time, the one who was elected first--or if both were elected at the same time, the one elected for a full term--is referred to as the "senior" Senator from that State." That's for Senators.

In the House...."As constituted in 1997--the 105th Congress--the House of Representatives is composed of 435 Members elected every two years from among the 50 States, apportioned to their total populations." There is NO mention of splitting the House terms up as it does for the Senate.

THE ENTIRE HOUSE IS ELECTED EVERY TWO YEARS....Do you guys not remember your social studies classes??????

Years ago I worked in a sheet metal shop with my uncle...and when somebody F'd up and everybody was standing around looking at it trying to figure out what to do to fix it he'd come bustin' in and say "WELL RIGHT OR WRONG LETS DO SOMETHING" Our government has become paralyzed with indecision and special interest with people standing around looking at the problem and complaining about it but doing nothing to fix it.

Cant say I agree with every thing he is trying and not saying any of its going to work but at least our government is motiion trying to do something.

I wish I was your repair man.

Hey BC, you are right about the election of the House members, but is it true that every bill must originate in the house. I thought that bills had to be approved by both the house and the senate, but could be originated in either.
