Yes, there is far to much corruption in Washington DC now, so we need an independent council for fairness.

Patricia Boggs

We know the truth but using a special independent group to investigate would or should put a stop on all sides of the gossip and guessing games, common ground for a truthful answer

Skepticism about the severity of the riots and support for claims of a stolen election still linger, polls show.

There is NO comparison of the two events and to suggest so is disgusting. Nancy P seems to be VERY disconnected from the reality of the average citizen’s life, pretending she knows what is best for us. She likes to waste the American people’s time and money for the “greater good” of “the people.”

Donna Russell

Wasting taxpayer money. Move on.

Jamie McAtee

Move on!

Max

Why waste the money, it would be a biased report anyway, that would reveal absolutely nothing.

Holly heck, taxes would go up and jobs would go to part time. Getting no where fast.

Max

It would cause many businesses to close and many people would lose their jobs. Very few states could handle this financially.

Harlan Lamb

For a cripples economy and government the increase all at once will cause problems and hardships beyond what the country will survive.

Childhood poverty in the US is at an all time high. Something needs to be done to help combat it. This will go a long way to help ensure kids have a stable place to live and food on the table.

If we can give rich companies TRILLIONS, why not give everyday people some thousands?
