Congress Does Not Care About You
Your Congress does not care about you. They develop simple cliche talking points like "no new taxes". Sounds great. Tough to resist. You hear it, like it and continue to support anyone who says it. You never get the details or the real truth and they get your loyalty at the polls. This is what they want. Continued influence and power, not whether they are really doing something for you. Speaker Boehner had a compromise deal with the President, realized he couldn't get support from his caucus. As such, if he pushed too hard, Majority Leader Cantor would vie for the Speaker's job. Does Boehner do what is right? Nope. He caves and comes up with another plan that was hastily put together, filled with inaccurate numbers that now has to be re-written. He knows it will never make it to the President. He doesn't care about you, he cares about his job, not yours. Senate Minority Leader McConnell has an announced goal of defeating the President. He knows that compromise would be good for America, provide stability in the markets, keep us from the threat of default, but just as he seems reasonable, he says No. He wants to embarrass the President, even if it means default. He cares about his job, not about yours. These are dangerously complicated times and your Congress is playing Russian roulette with your finances, your job and your life. They do not care about you. Listen closely and be careful. Where are you Americans for reason and truth?

You are exactly right about what is going on with this entire debt debacle. All these GOP congressmen are saying to the American people is that their lives, jobs, and power is more important that our general well-being. The heartbreaking part of this to me is that the American public seems to be seeing something completely different than me. As a liberal blogger myself, I appreciate having an ally on the subject and I am inspired by your call to action.
ReplyDeleteYes the Republicans do not care even a small amount about working people. However, the same can be said about the Democrats. Nothing will be fixed until we have a legitimate progressive party with true grass roots power. The right has that silly tea party run by corporations. The left needs a real progressive party run by its members.
