The recent news about the European factory and business slowdown has begun to affect the USA. This news has been awaited for a while but you can be sure the Congress and Dupublican candidate for the White House will hit the airwaves to blame the current resident of the White House. The division in this country is no longer subtly Racist so those factions that are adamantly against Mr. Obama for any one of many conjured up reasons will jump on this one. We have seen the outright  animosity from the Congress (on both sides), we have seen  the business moguls weigh in for no more than the publicity and other very well offs pour millions into the coffers of the aspirant and his party members who are seeking election and re-election. This begs for an answer which to me can only be get a new Congress and punish the wealthy evil doers whose sole purpose is to continue to fill their coffers on the back of the American people. How do we punish them?, simply buy fewer of their products, assail their headquarters with letter of protest and indignation. Hit the streets  if need be to let them know we have had enough. What if we as voters terminate the services of the sitting Congress as their current terms end and insist that a law be created to make their terms of service one  (1) twelve year term or no more than 13 years, eliminate office perks like Franking, free rides on military aircraft, eliminate additional pay for chairmanships, remove current pension and special committee pay. There would be no incentive make friends who need favors and thereby control the Government.
