I can only assume that the House has nothing really important to work on.

I wonder... do they have any sense of priority whatsoever? Is this the best they can do?
I think they should all be fired. This is a colossal waste of time and taxpayer dollars.
Welcome to the Democratic-run state of Washington. Washington State Senator Darlene Fairley (D-Lake Forest Park) believed military personnel are not capable of fending for themselves in the civilian world, where high-interest payday loans lurk.
...Fairley....the chair of the state Senate's Financial Institutions, Housing and Consumer Protection Committee, sponsored the seven bills. If passed, the bills would put restrictions on payday lending to military personnel; lower the maximum allowable size for payday loans and the amount of interest charged; limit borrowers to one outstanding payday loan every 60 days; and give borrowers the option to skip a payday when repaying a loan.
Where was the rage from our democratic friends when Washington State Sen. Karen Keiser (D-Des Moines) has introduced legislation totax cosmetic medical services?
...but...not limited to, cosmetic surgery, hair transplants, cosmetic injections, cosmetic soft tissue fillers, dermabrasion and chemical peel, laser hair removal, laser skin resurfacing, laser treatment of leg veins, sclerotherapy, and cosmetic dentistry.
Then there's State Sen Paul Shin. You guessed it. A Democrat. And he doesn't want you to collect rainwater on your property unless the State Department of Ecology says it's OK. (SB 5113)
Bottom line. Both sides of the isle, whether at a state or federal level, offer ludicrous bills. Its a norm in our government, driven by lobbyists.
(And for the record, I think it should be legal to burn the American flag as part of free speech, but don't try it in my front yard, unless you want to be bloody.)
