Yeah, this is Fun. But it also shows that our government is broken. This piece of legislation was a turd and needed to be flushed. Great, glad to see it happen.

Now, let’s tackle:

Our porous borders (don’t call it “immigration”);

The undfunded liability time bomb;

The decay of American manufacturing;

ACORN financing;

Government spending;

Term limits;

Go ahead and pick your important issue, there are a bunch of them. I picked mine. Guess what? With the chaotic fractured government we have now, any attempt to address these issues legislatively in a positive manner is doomed to the same frustrating failure the left is going through right now with socialized health care. While in the present case we applaud that it’s a good thing, the problem is that the things government needs to do won’t get done either.

I tell ya, the whole federal system is bloated, rotten, corrupt and broken. And those are it’s good points.

It’s beginning to feel like the winter of 1774 complete with Minutemen, Tea Parties and a Continental Congress.

We know happans in the spring on April 19, 1775...

Term limits;

I'd settle for "session limits" -- annual sessions no longer than six months, e.g.

We would all be better served if our Congress-critters spent half the year back home, living in the real world.
