Congress is making a fool of itself and if anyone up there wants to stay in their post they need to watch what they are doing to their constituents back home. I was reading the USA Today website and found a current article talking about how the government is on the verge of a near shut down. again. AGAIN! Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nevada, said it all when he said "Americans are tired of this partisanship. They deserve to know that when disasters strike, we will be there to help them." This division is killing them and us. We need more people to stand up and say "Let's put on our big boy pants today and actually work on a compromise."
Do these congessman/women think that what they are doing is right? Or is it just a case of ignorance and showboating. I looked up showboating, it fits so perfectly, it means to exhibit a grotesque amount of undue and unfounded pride for a skill or ability which is actually mediocre. Yep. Congress is mediocre and the public opinion reflects it; congress is sitting at a 15% approval rating. They are a bunch of do-nothings and worst than that, they are a bunch of stop-everythings. These kinds of behaviors are only going to hurt them.
Plus, the fact that they must wait until the 11th hour to do anything is very telling and it breaks my heart, which in turn ticks me off. If they must wait until the absolutely last possible minute to work out something that will keep their own jobs moving, then how motivated are they to honestly getting other peoples jobs moving? It doesn't look promising for the American public. What bothers me the most is that after Labor Day Obama addressed Congress and said that if they planned to wait until we elected a new president to start moving things along, that it would be a long wait for the citizens who don't have jobs or need help. That comment really resonated with me and to be honest it worries me because it looks like that is the exactly the plan of congress and countless Americans will suffer for their stubbornness. God. Bless. America (we need it).
