Can we endure another Benghazi hearing?

Perhaps, when the Democrats win back the House! They will go after the Republicans for wasting the taxpayers' money.

We need to make sure that we all get out and vote. Do not let the Republicans win even at the local level of government. We all knows what happens if they are able to stay in control.

I heard one of the Republicans this morning, complain about wasteful spending in the White House? Well, what were they doing when they put this committee together? They say it ONLY cost just under 5 million dollars and won't cost any then 8 million to finish the investigation. Umm... It has cost better then 20 million and the total amount is a huge ? mark. Now to me this money could have been spent more wisely, like feeding the homeless, paying for much needed highway repairs or maybe pay down the national debt. I know 20 plus million won't be much to help with anything big issues, but hey, it a start.

I know Benghazi is a pretty serious issue and I would like to know the truth what happen, too? But, to hang their hats on this and say that they blame only one person, is absurd. Americans know that bad things happen. In the past, we used to band together as a nation and work to solve and secure, so that these bad things don't happen again.

Thank you for reading my post and have a great day.

And federal student loans are forgiven.

I am totally disgruntled on Congress. They never do what they ought to do. Get the slavery out of the original documents and let's start over.

These Republicans want an investigation into, planned parenthood, Climate change scientists, Obama care (again) one thing after another instead of actually doing their job at astronomical costs to the people, This country is being destroyed by right wing psychopaths.

You already know the truth. There have been 7 bipartisan reports following separate thorough investigations. It was a terrorist attack on a diplomatic outpost in a war zone. Hillary had nothing to do with it and there was no way to save the 4 dead. Of course, better funding for the State Department might have helped, but that is on the GOP.

We all know the truth, what I was saying is the truth needs to be the objective & not the purpose of tearing down people for others to gain political attributes.
