HEY CONGRESS, CALL ME

Published by homemaker at 12:51 pm under Current Events Edit This

After listening to all the post-inauguration hype, my head is spinning with repercussions of over 200 years of so-called “independence.”  This country is riddled with frustrated people who really have little to say about how it’s run, no matter what our political affiliations.

After handing over complete power to Congress and the President, we have to sit back and watch as these elected officials mess with our banks, the environment, our health care, sexual orientation, the military command and homeland security.

My husband and I have spent a lifetime taking much better care of ourselves than the U.S. Government ever could and I don’t expect them to start being good at it now.  Actually, if they would like some really good advice, they should ask us.  We’ve been handling finances, raising kids, dealing with medical conditions, recycling and keeping our home safe while paying for it on time for over 45 years.  All that with  high FICA scores!

Hey, Congress can you say that?

    Here, here! Preach on and there are thousands upon thousands of Americans that do it everyday. We go to jail or lose everything if we don’t. We would get fired for handling things the way they do. But who is holding them accountable?
