Video: Pension policy — the Flash game!

You can thank Eric Cantor, deputy GOP whip in the House, for this. The quality’s shoddy and it’s a strange, strange issue to try this experiment with, but I like the fact that he’s willing to play it light and leverage the web to move messages. Not the first time he’s done that, either. If the Dems win big next year and the long-awaited rightroots explosion occurs as part of the inevitable GOP backlash, Cantor will probably be a prominent liaison between the Hill and the blogosphere. Patrick Ruffini’s already touting him for the Senate. Won’t happen (this time), but it’s worth striking the friendship now. Click the image to watch.

That is super strange, poor quality, and the plot makes no sense. That said, I love the concept. There are a few Hollywood made movies with this concept

Accepted! I was beginning to worry if everyone was banned, if I was the only one left alive, or if I was banned and didn’t know it.
I made it threw the game on several levels. I think it’s a good learning tool for young people with apathy towards government.

i went to capital hill; hit a dead end and clicked “start over” by accident. I didn’t feel like watchin those conversations again so I left. You mean, there was something to actually do?
