What a great educational piece. I’m not sure I’m smarter then a 5th grader, but congress majority for sure!

This video should be mandated in every school and viewed by every member of anything GOVERNMENT. It would even be a good idea that every person new to this country get some knowledge of this country by viewing this simple video. More efficient, mandate it to every person new to this country that has established their employment in the government.
