over 13 trillion in debt, plenty of homeless and unemployed, and bills introduced lately are:


U.S. Senate:

1. S.RES.686 : A resolution designating December 11, 2010, as "Wreaths Across America Day".
---------
2. S.RES.687 : A resolution honoring the life and career of Dave Niehaus. was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary
---------
