WTF Is Wrong With Washington?
If we sat and gave this some thought, I would imagine that we could come up with a list of at least a thousand things that Washington should be working on to make this country a better place.
Just off the top of my head I would think that the top few would be: (in no particular order)
- Either of the TWO Wars we are in…
- The housing meltdown…
- Unemployment…
- The educational system…
- The banking and financial crisis…
- Pollution…
- Crime…
- The countries infrastructure…
- Mass transit…
- The auto industry…
- Social security…
- The Homeless…
- Health care…
- Immigration…
The list goes on and on. And as I think about all that our “elected” leaders should be doing, one thing that never crossed my mind: College football.
Apparently, I know nothing of what this countries real problems are.
Rep. Joe Barton of Texas, who has introduced legislation that would prevent the NCAA from calling a game a national championship unless it’s the outcome of a playoff, bluntly warned: “If we don’t see some action in the next two months, on a voluntary switch to a playoff system, then you will see this bill move.”
It doesn’t really surprise me that this was a republican. What does surprise me is that this dumb-ass has a job. Let alone a job that is to help decide how this country is run.
Did I fall asleep and Washington fixed everything? Is this all they have to do? Worry about college football?
I want to see a bill passed that states: Anyone that brings up a bill like this is automatically fired, tared and feathered and tied to a stake in the middle of his town square for the rest of us to pelt with rotten fruit and vegetables and never allowed to hold public office or vote ever again! Along with everyone that voted for that person or agrees with their asinine ideas.
I will admit, that it is not just the republicans doing these things. All politicians do it. They do it to distract us from the real problems that we face. If we are distracted, we don’t notice that they aren’t doing anything to fix the real problems. Because if they take a stand to fix a real problem, it is going to upset someone, somewhere. And when your job depends on pleasing the sheep voters, you can’t offend anyone.
Let’s hope there are a few of them left in Washington that will kick this to curb.
WOW
Are you really blogging about Washington because of a bill like this when you have such a perverted view of the American legislator?
Friends don’t let friend blog drunk.
Why is it Washington’s responsibility to fix any of this. You are what is wrong with America today. Everyone wants a hand out.
What are “they doing to fix my problems”?
What about health care?
What about social security?
What about the housing market?
What about pollution?
What about this and that?
Guess what, this country was founded by principles and by people who wanted freedoms. Freedom to make their own decisions and they understood that there were consequences to decisions. They did not expect hand outs, and they got nothing without hard work, blood sweat and tears. They would roll over in their graves if they could see this country now.
Notice there are no socialist programs that where included in the constitution, or did you not read the constitution, obviously not.
They would not have even considered creating extra “laws” or restrictions under the guise of all these “Crises” we are supposedly having now.
I.e. the housing crisis, the financial crisis, the war on drugs, the war on pollution, going green, Global warming, global climate change, (weird the name keeps changing, cause it’s NOT REAL!)
These are just reasons for these “liberal tyrants” (both democrats and republicans) to control every aspect of our life including their newest attempt at healthcare to control our overall well being.
All men are endowed by their creator with certain rights, among these are life liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
Where does it talk about free healthcare, or a retirement at 65, or free education or a house to live in, IT DOESN’T. That’s our (as a person) responsibility. Not the government. But again they see this as a crises that the fascists can sink their teeth into. Now they not only control our actions but take our money, and the more you make the more they take. And they decide where MY money goes. That’s called taxation without representation. Isn’t that why we left England in the first place?
Give us laws and enforce them, period. No interpretation, no loopholes. Their written in black and white.
