     If it were an ordinary citizen it would be federal prison time. But not for the Democratic Congressman

   Yay! I can't think of a better use of the house's time than spending fifteen minutes so that the GOP can trot this guy out as an indictment of all Democrats ever and the heralding of a new golden age of politics: a possible $200 million debt reduction, an investigation to look into the possibility of repealing certain aspects of the healthcare law once they've decided what parts they don't like after getting someone else to read it for them, and not giving the unemployed any money unless we make it up from the shortfall of a policy they came together as a block to vote against. That's change I can believe in, baby!

   @Drew...as if having an (R) after your name denotes honesty. This particular crook happens to have a (D) noted after his name, and he, Rangel, should be arrested, not "censured". (whatever censure means) And 200 billion isn't even a drop in the debt bucket. We owe the frigging Caymen Islands over 250 billion. That should give you some perspective. Now you tell me, Drew, how much do we owe Chima?

   9-1 ???? Would love to know who the one was. Are you kidding me? Who on earth is going on record as not censuring this man. This guy should be in jail.

   If he were a white republican he would be carted off to prison. This was his break for being black and a political for over 40 years. I see no reason for him to represent anyone, except himself.

    If he were white, he'd have his own reality show by now,
    And if he had a(R) after his name he'd be on fox news,being called a hero,
    Just like Oliver North!!

    "The Truth" you sound like an idiot. White people owe HUNDREDS OF TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS TO BLACK PEOPLE (and its really more than that!). You are in no position to talk to a black person about prison when YOU ARE IN DEBT.

      White people owe millions, trillions? to whom? Are you stillbringing up the reparations for slaverry?? to whom does that get paid? It would only be teh survvors and being 150 yrs ago there are none left. and who is responsible? thise who had slaves! My family did not arrive in america until maybe 100 yrs ago. why would I be responsible. and if you weren't so racist, you'd be able to see rangel is CORRUPT! iF he was white nad repuiblican YOU'd BE cllaing for jail time and be outraged if h e didn't get it. You'd probably burned down your city in protest and expect white america to rebuild it. You KNOW I'm right!!

    Or you can come "work" for me. And maybe after...6, 700 years of "work" your debt should be paid off. Sounds pretty fair to me!
