Bull

Watching the "debate" in the House about budget cuts, the only word that comes up is..."BULL!"

It may be true that we are in the red and that the deficit and debt are out of control but these people are unbelieveable.

Part of the problem here is that the representatives in D.C., whether they be from the House or the Senate, and the officials in the White House, seem to be oblivious, "tone deaf", to the problems of the average American that they were sent to Washington to serve.

When you listen to the rhetoric it is hard not to be offended. These people are millionaires. These people have free health care and perks beyond our imagination.

They stand there and pontificate about the problems that confront the nation yet their solutions favor their benefactors not their constituents.

It is a moral outrage that Congress is considering cutting the programs that effect the middle class as well as the poor. And the cuts are, in some cases, to programs that will help educate and nurture our children so that they can take over when we are too feeble to do so.

The Congress seems oblivious and seems interested in pushing the problem down the road so future generations will have to deal with it.

And all the while they rant about how the fiscal policies of our country are going to bankrupt future generations and imperil the health and security of our children and grandchildren.

Seems that they want it both ways. After all, the majority of the spending is benefiting the wealthy who, in turn, don't give a damn about this country nor its' less fortunate citizens.

They've got their piece so we can all just piss off!

Boy are we in a mess. We elect these clowns over and over again and never seem to learn.

They took over the House in 2010. They'll probably grab the Senate and the White House in 2012.

We'll probably end up with Romney or Palin or Bachmann or Pawlenty or Bush.

But it won't matter what party is in control. Neither of them is listening. All the politicians want is the power so they can have the influence so they can make the money...for themselves and their friends.

So...on a lighter note:

Protestors were killed today in Bahrain. See what happens when the government isn't paying attention to its' citizens? Egypt happens. But death happens too.

May they rest in peace...
