As the year winds down our Congress appears to have finally realized what their jobs are. After several years of public posturing and sound bites, the Congressional leaders seem to be making a stab at legislating ( novel idea). I wonder how long it took to enact the law that guaranteed their benefits? With the election year closing in , the “lawfakers” are probably more concerned about retention than doing the work we expected them to do. These current seat fillers have wasted “our” valuable time feuding with the president and one another  while the voters are unemployed, under employed and being under served. I have written that the voters need to fire the lot of them as their time in this term nears and there have been suggestions that this would not solve the problem as politics is a sausage mill with more meat in the pipeline. Even a sausage mill has to stopped for cleaning.

If I were a firemen in Washington D(e)C(adent), I could make an excellent living as a fireman specializing in  pants!  I could set up stations in the  halls of Congress with subscription payments tied to the COLA’s of the Congressional members and a tag along on their health benefits. That’s American ingenuity!
