Imagine a World Without Balloons...

 These are important days in the United States House of Representatives. Critical issues such as the budget, sequestration, immigration and gun reform, etc. all warrant some significant chunk of this esteemed body's limited time. The business of America must be done.

Representative Hank Johnson-D (GA) issued some entertaining remarks on the amount of time the House devoted to debating a bill that addresses concerns over the management of the country's helium supply...The merits of that legislation aside, Mr. Johnson makes a point that perhaps the House's time might've been spent better on other more important issues...

Watch his remarks...
