I think it might be a tool. The power is in desuetude, but maybe it can be revived as a check and balance on the executive power. I mean, right now, the executive is ignoring Congress.Even if the Republicans take the senate back, this will continue to be the case. It is logical consequence of the investigative power of a select committee, going beyond the mere raising of the issue and regain some control over what has be3come an irresponsible executive. The bad thing is that it will require a lot of DW-40 to make the tool work again and a chairman willing and able about to do more than jaw-jaw.
Romney was right, only 47% really care about fighting the 53% who have figured out they can vote themselves a raise from the treasury of the other 47%.
I keep looking for some kind of encouragement that things might be better in my remaining lifetime. I think, or want to think, I see some of the kids beginning to figure out they have a very very bleak future on the path the one they foolishly voted for is taking them on.
I hope he continues to push the race card. I don’t see how 85% of the population can willingly support all the wants, wishes and whims of the other less than 15% who have been given everything imaginable and still can’t pull themselves out of their own slop. It is a mystery to me why we, supposedly smart people, have allowed such a small faction of the population to keep all of us so torn up all the time.
Desuetude, I had to look that one up. Not much need for that word in my discussions. If you mean that congress is not using the power it has you are correct. They are afraid to cut off the money. They are afraid of what others may say and think. They are afraid of the race card and the propaganda machine. They have lost their nerve and don’t understand or think that we have reached the point where what anyone thinks or says or does in response to them doing the right thing won’t matter because they will lose anyway.
A DW-40 is an old Cat scraper tractor. That may be just what is needed to run over the bastards and have reason to replace them and scare the life out of the survivors.
In the final assessment though I think it is too late. We have probably lost.
