The Potty Parity Act
Question: What is the House of Representatives doing as unemployment approaches 10%, the deficit exceeds 10% of GDP, the public debt grows to unprecedented size for peacetime and Iran is about to get The Bomb?
Answer: Addressing unequal restroom facilities in federal buildings with the so-called Potty Parity Act.
"The fact is, it's not a joke. Not only is it not a joke to women, it's not a joke to men who go with the women who have to wait while they're standing in line. It's also politically very popular. It's the right thing to do and it's catching up with the cultural lag in our society." Rep. Steve Cohen (D-TN)
The Potty Parity Act is bipartisan; it is being co-sponsored by Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA).
