I hope that you too are disgusted with the behavior of congress this week.
The congress and senate did nothing substantial for months, except posturing, when it came to the "debt ceiling crisis". It is not like the end of the fiscal year is a big, unannounced, surprise, nor is the fact that the federal government is spending too much and running up to much debt each year. However, instead of actually doing some real work, and actually cutting spending like any American with half an operating brain has been telling them to do. They did nothing!
Finally, at the last moment, after a lot of hand-wringing, and a lot of patting themselves on the back (cue the trumpets), congress gave us their "best effort". That best effort was described by some of them as: "A Satan Sandwich with Satan Fries". Sounds like something that only immoral people would gladly support. Not only was the end product a really bad one, but they also with one swipe of the pen rewrote part of the constitution to set up a panel of 12 people who would decide in the future exactly how this bill was to be implemented! Forget about those pesky constituents, let's just have 12 people appointed by the two parties decide what is best!
This is my call to all citizens to tell congress what we think of their actions by:
1. Calling and telling them that if they voted for this bill, then they will be unemployed in November of 2012.
2. They must IMMEDIATELY begin to work to repeal this nauseating piece of legislation.
3. They must IMMEDIATELY begin to write a real budget that cuts government spending by 10% THIS YEAR!!
4. They must come home and explain to their constituents what they did to oppose this legislation, or explain how their moral cowardice justifies their showing their face in their home district ever again.
