#3 Nancy Pelosi urged her "Republican friends"
aka RINO
aka Outer Party
not to be confused with the proles [like those who attend Tea Party meetings].

#4 Both parties are run by rent-seeking scumbags.
IMHO of course. It's the same over here in Former Blairistan.

#5 BP, you drop the term "rent-seeking" in almost every comment, as if it is the premises, the argument, and the conclusion all wrapped up in one. Could you please define it?

#6 Nancy "You got to pass it before you can read it" Pelosi. I would not vote for any Pub who would listen the likes of Pelosi. I recall Obomb stating we won the election (so we don't have to listen to the Republicans). Take no prisoners!

Rent-seeking generally implies the extraction of uncompensated value from others without making any contribution to productivity, such as by gaining control of land and other pre-existing natural resources, or by imposing burdensome regulations or other government decisions that may affect consumers or businesses.

Very apt IMHO.

#11 Sorry. I thought it was a widely known term... It's certainly the right one for our governments.

FTFY, BP. At least as far as the current crop of thieving assholes "leaders" is concerned.

Was there something about the context of her usage that was confusing you? What did you think she meant?
It seemed obvious to me.

And you probably know what the meaning of "is" is. But then, you probably don't have a JD

Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
