more Americans do this on the daily, on no reset button. Congress, here is a game that has no guns, grenades, or super powers other than those possessed by the millions of un & underemployed fine Americans from sea to shining sea. take time out from making million$ of tax dollars for yourself and see how the rest of us live. Can you make it a month on slightly more than the current federal minimum wage? I doubt it, but give it a spin instead of spinning the rest of us.REPORT COMMENTS

THIS is my life. While you dicker over inconsequential things I LIVE this game in real life every day. You are too rich to see, much less understand, the painful choices 99.8% of Americans must make on a daily basis. Do we feed our families, put gas in the car, repair the damn thing again, take care of that nagging tooth ache/health concern and how do we pay for it. You don't have to go through that at all, do you? Play the game. Maybe you'll begin to understand but honestly? I am not going to hold my breath.REPORT COMMENTS

Congress, Give back your benefits you have voted for yourself.Your retirement plan, paid vacations, your health care, and cost of living increases everytime u turn around, when social security and veterans haven't had one in 4 years. I think the planes on 7-11 hit the wrong buildings. I think the American people need to get rid off all of you greedy people.REPORT COMMENTS
