AM I WRONG?

OK, they spend a fortune to get elected, we send them to Congress, and they shut down the government. Am I wrong but weren’t they supposed to run the government as representatives of the people?

I hate politics and Congress in particular, not found of the occupants of the White House, but don’t feel they are doing a terrible job. I decided long ago that branding myself a Conservative or Liberal will only trap me into other’s beliefs and then having to support some issues I don’t agree with.

The shutdown we experience every time there are disagreements near budget times is basically our own fault. We put these same jerks back into the same positions and after a while, they feel they know what is best for you and me, not what we want or need.

Holding services hostage is outrageous, taking away functions of government is criminal, withholding pay of government workers is sinful. Who is really doing this? Is it the Republicans or is it the Democrats. Depending on your alignment, you blame one or the other. I think that is wrong, it is our fault! We are holding the government hostage, we are all accepting of the idiocy of our elected representatives. These are the same people that insist of spending beyond the means of reality, that support guns in the face of senseless murder by crazies who get the guns, it is the fault of we the people.

What we need is a movement that demands better from those who run. They should be paid enough money to pay bills and raise a family and nothing more. Those that do get elected should be dedicated to service, accountable and their terms limited to one three year term only. Maybe with these kinds of rules, there won’t be any more politicians, and then we have what we have now, without the cost or aggravation that comes with these bastards.

Might be the man!
