In these times of political strife here and abroad, the American political system has been usurped by men and women who are so full of themselves that they can no longer be considered public servants. We the voters have been advertised into a mindset of instant gratification. You hear ads referring to deferred settlements “it’s my money and I want it now!” and not understanding the amount lost in fees to the company supplying the instant money. Political promises are the same. There is no one, I repeat NO ONe who can push a political agenda without the aid of Congress! Our so-called legislative representatives have spent years in office working towards their own futures and jeopardizing ours. Currently the people are complaining about the fiscal problems we have as related to wars in other countries, the jobless situation at home but not looking at the unbroken line between Congress and their relationship to it. We have had several Presidents and essentially One (1) Congress! This leads me to believe that the problem is with the Congress.These vested legislators have over the years sweetened the political pot for themselves while espousing concern for us and getting us to reelect them time after time. We the people already know the truth but instant gratification has become our mindset and our politicians have used it to control our votes.
