The Ongoing Congressional ****!


The current Congressional onslaught on the IRS by Congressman Issa is at once ludicrous and too public. This issue requires a closed investigation to determine the facts before airing it in public.  Mr. Issa one of the many Dupublicans who have bucked the President at every turn regardless of the correctness of the Presidential initiatives on anything. Currently the IRS is the target and the push is on to determine if the Whitehouse is involved. These are the same Dupublicans who brought us the “sequester” , who brought us the WMD’s, the Iraqi “incident” and lately a push to go into Syria. Wouldn’t the voters be better served  working with the President and others to do what is proper for the country going forward? The same political party is in the forefront on cutting the farm bill to reduce the assistance to low income folks who have to use food subsidies (SNAP), among those users are senior citizens, unemployed and under employed voters. I am of the opinion and have been for some time that we ALL need to change how Congress works through our votes. All is required from us is not voting for incumbents but for who may be campaigning against them. We cannot  continue to go along with a Congress that has no agenda concerning our well being but continues to reap the benefits set forth by them for them. If Socrates were alive today he could have a hundred lanterns in the Congressional chamber and still be in the dark and searching.

Can WE Afford Congress?


Today several opinions on a variety of subjects prompted me to write that most of us have the same thoughts and opinions on Government (or Lack of), business failings and perhaps our neighbors. Where we fail is not acting on our opinions by writing to our Representatives when we feel they are remiss in their duties, expressing how we feel when a business fails to deliver the basic services they so proudly crow about. As for our neighbors. a simple wave or hello will usually cure any ills in that area. The basic premise here is we complain but do not vote against incumbents no matter how long they have been in office, longevity in office is where our elected officials go astray. They seem to develop a “laissez faire” attitude towards doing the government work (which we pay them well for). I urge all Americans who vote to begin the renewal of our Government by voting the old timers out (anyone who has served 2 terms), write, call or e mail your representatives when you do not agree with them. When we do not let them know how we feel they do whatever they want and many times against our wishes and desires. Since most of us have the same opinions in general we need to voice these opinions whenever we can. The various PACS, parties and other groups spend millions persuading the Government representative to do what they want and not always to our benefit.
