i dont get it why are we addressing these guys as honorable? are they elected or are they just businessmen to whom taxing has been delegated. our government is totally out of control. and these lame bureaucrats need to learn how to NOT SPEND.
Cutting spending is something that most pols will not do. Why? Because it is a lot HARDER than spending.
I spent a few years on staff in the state senate in Boston, MA. I discovered that pols will crawl for miles over broken glass before they cut spending - especially if they are Democrats.
Democrats LOVE big government. In northern Virginia, we are only a river away from the biggest government spending drunks in the world. It is infectious.
And voting them out of office is more difficult than you think. Once the voters get something for nothing(even though we all pay for it) it is devilishly difficult to take it away from them.
Ugh.
