Washington Politics

Today I'm on my soapbox

I, as are so many others, am upset by the way our elected Representatives are going about the business of this country. They have for decades promised to make government smaller, more efficient and less intrusive into our lives. This problem is not confined to one political party. Both are guilty of telling the American voter what they want to hear at election time, but once elected into office they fall prey to the lure of power and greed. We have got to get back to a Government of the people, by the people and for the people. Can you imagine being able to "spend" your way out of debt. I know I could never do that in my own household. That is the road the present Administration and Congress is taking this country down. I truly believe it is way past time to institute "Term Limits" on those serving in Congress. The King James Version of John 8:32 reads ... "And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free". Sadly, this verse when applied to Washington politics could read ... "Follow the money trail, find the truth and the truth will really piss you off".
