Congress: on top of the appliance situation

Posted

I thought Marc Molinaro was our U.S. Representative in Congress, but it looks like maybe we got the Maytag Repairman instead. 

This week the U.S. Congress, led by Molinaro and his GOP colleagues, is scheduled to debate no fewer than six bills dealing with home appliances:

H.R. 6192—Hands Off Our Home Appliances Act

H.R. 7673—Liberty in Laundry Act

H.R. 7645—Clothes Dryers Reliability Act

H.R. 7637—Refrigerator Freedom Act

H.R. 7626—Affordable Air Conditioning Act

H.R. 7700 — Stop Unaffordable Dishwasher Standards Act

These are not serious people. Molinaro, Speaker Johnson and the rest of the GOP in Washington view politics as performance art, creating fake outrage over non-existent problems while ignoring the very real issues we face at home and overseas. We deserve better.
