    How about skip the game, just give us the health care package you have.....maybe I can sell mine to pay some bills. I'm sure most of us commoners would love to vote ourselves some nice raises....Oh wait we don't have jobs.If I ever find one, I'll apply the lessons learned from Washington of late.Show up at my overpaid do nothing job, hold my breath and stomp my little feet until I get my way,then spend a couple years congratulating myself for it! Whats the use.....NONE of these MORONS will bother reading this,let alone play a game that my sully their tiny little thoughts reminding them of the lowly great unwashed.

    As your boss, ie: a taxpayer, I want this game to be compulsory to all of you civil servants. For the purpose of giving you an understanding of the people you are supposed to be representing, not the $pecial interest groups you pal with.

    Don't tell us you can't live off of hundred's of thousands of dollars a year when this is what it's like for a lot of the people you represent. America should be a great country that can take care of it's people.

    I was raised in poverty and managed to make my way out to only end up back on the bottom rung again. This needs to stop and the politicians need to understand what it is really like out here and not lament that they only have $400k a year left over after taking care of their children.

    Please, play this game-- and then apply it. I don't make stupid decisions because I'm poor, I make them because I don't have any other option and live with a roof over my head.

    You are too far removed from the realities to understand the impacts of your decisions and inability to work together. Take ten minutes to do this and see if it connects with you in any way. I think you can spare the time.
