While Conflicts Rage Through the World

I know it's a comfort for those of us at home to know that our Congress has been busy to keep life going as close to normal as possible. To that end, the House in June passed a transportation bill that included $930 million in earmarks. Yup that's almost a billion dollars that US Representatives are trying to pilfer from the national economy to take back to their constituents before the next general election. There is no limit to the percentage of our tax dollars these people are willing to use to win reelection.

What bravery and devotion to the status quo these men and women display. What a marvelous and patriotic spirit they show.

And wouldn't it be too bad if they got their butts voted out of office in November by a populace a little less interested in being bought by the status quo and a little more interested in successfully managing a nation.

Amen. No end to pork and crapola to woo the constituents, many of who are poed and take a lot of wooing
