The influence of both sides. I think it is a far more balanced circuit circumstances are much more balanced than people suspect. The results are not absolute. If you spend an extra Million Dollars youll get that bill through congress. That does not work at all. Money is useful, sometimes important, but it is no means decisive. The voices of people as they are organized politically in the country are definitely heard in washington on all sides of the question. Host your final call this half hour is from paula from pennsylvania, republican. Caller hi. Ideas have a comment because i have been listening. I just have a comment because i have been listening. All those people who called in before and said the president lies, he is a liar, do they really think people who voted for President Trump forget the biggest lie we were told . If you like your health care plan, you can keep it. If you like your doctor, you can keep it. This was publicized. By all the democrats president obama, joe biden
Veterans programs. These are bills that are popular among republicans. It should be a fairly partisan exercise. The package is not expected to get a lot of democratic support, if any. So it should be a pretty partyline vote. There will be a lot of amendments, i think it will go late into the night, several nights. We have a busy week ahead of us on appropriations.

The Union Strategy this time was if you can knock the confederate capitol out of the war, richmond, only 90 miles from washington, d. C. , if the Union General George Mcclellan can capture the confederate capital at richmond by the summer of 1862 the confederacy may throw in the towel. We cant know for sure. It is speculation. It could very well be that the confederacy decides, ok, they took our capital but well keep on fighting. The war has been going on about a year. If the confederacy loses their National Capital within a year it very well could be th
