“Mr. Chairman, senior citizens in my district have worked hard their entire lives and, with the help of Social Security, have been able to enjoy their golden years. A favorite pastime of seniors is attending card parties. Seniors enjoy the card playing. It can be fun and challenging as a test of skill and luck. Sometimes people will go from one card party to the other, they enjoy it so much. I see that as I visit my district. Something people do not like, though, is when they know that cards are being played with a stacked deck, a game that is rigged. That is really repugnant to the American sense of fairness.
