The Tea Party has thrown the nation overboard in some kind of twisted act of civil disobedience. The failure to increase the debt ceiling is not seen as a failure by those irresponsible enough to throw our nation into shame, but some kind of cause celeb. We must take back control of our system of representation and have citizens reassume their roles. Please push for two terms for every member of Congress. We cannot tolerate career politicans out of touch with the people. We cannot afford to pay health insurance and retirement benefits for people who fail to conduct the people's business. How many of you enjoy such a package? Not me. Where are the cuts to those programs? Instead we hear about cuts to 401K's, IRA's, home mortgage interest, and charitable contributions. The average citizen has now suffered the final indignation and been kicked to the curb. Our jobs have left for the profits of others. Our savings have been slashed, home values cut, taxes increased, and the bailed out bankers get their bonuses. Don't you feel better?Milan73MGBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14650364399476568565noreply@blogger.com
