As long as Congress has its golden parachutes why should they give a damn about the rest of the country? They are P.T. Barnum, and we are their suckers.

Yes, the "useful idiots" that Marx extolled as the basis for his success, seem to be the U.S. public! Looks more and more like that each and every day...pick the issue, the people are losing on every one!!! Immigration (illegal invasion), taxation, medical costs, national debt, cost of living, socialism, size of government, protection of the Constitution, our judiciary....just pick your issue...YOU LOSE!!!
Hell I'm even starting to wonder if the government has given up so much control to the globalists and corporations they are no longer able to take action on many major issues. It's starting to look like they're not going to fix it until it really falls apart. I guess we just need to get a firm grip on our ankles and take whats coming.
