What the heck?

I don't really understand our political system and/or I think that it is clearly broken. Why is it that our government officials vote right down party lines? Aren't they supposed to read the proposed bill, and vote on its contents? What is the problem? How will anything get accomplished ? And why do all the add-ons keep on appearing in the proposed bill...like bridges, swimmimg pools, and birth control? What a mess!

Tens of thousands of people are losing their jobs, and many have lost their pensions to greedy CEO's who are purchasing $50 million dollar jets and $1600 waste baskets after being rescued by a $35 billion dollar bailout...money that went where??? unaccounted for...CEOs who gave out bonuses that were huge...A CEO who mailed out millions of dollars of gifts...Exactly how does one man cheat people out of $50 billion without anyone noticing?? They should be wearing masks!! Why aren't these guys in jail???They should be doing community service in soup kitchens and homeless shelters.And why is there a radio talk show host[whose name I won't even say] making $100 million dollars a year to stir up controversy and publicly hope for our new president to fail...what major in college prepared him for that powerful job?

These people are a part of the problem.

I just don't get it.

When you are up to your ass in alligators, it is difficult to remind yourself that your initial objective was to drain the swamp.
