The Republican Arch Conservatives have now taken control of the House of Representatives. Not all Republicans in the House are like these arch conservatives. There are still some Moderates and true Conservatives left. Many of them are honorable, wish to do the people’s work and to ensure that our nation survives and prospers.
The Arch Conservatves are not among these folks. I include in this group the new Leadership of the Republican Caucus, John Boehner, Eric Cantor and the rest of that bunch. Liars and hypocrits all. My Congressional House Representative is a very honorable man. Do we always agree on policies, not bloody likely, but he is always ready to listen and take constituency opinions under consideration.
Mr Boehner? Now that’s a man who is honor challenged and has a propensity of DECIDING WHAT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WANT. He has his own opinon about legislation, policies, people’s desires and the good of the country. One simply does not want to confuse Boehner with those pesky FACTS.
I do hope, with the prayer of the faithful, that this current congress will not cause too much damage to the country in the next two years. Afterall, look at the legacy they left when the year 2008 term ended the Republican control and how this nation has sufferred in the two years since. Now in our national blindness, we have not only handed the Republicans a large majority in the House, but we have also invested a group of archconservative, libertarian and tea party representatives with the power of the legislative pen. Lord Help US one and all.
As for me? Simply going to keep praying that the saints who watch over our country will keep this new crop of Congress Critters from destroying the nation and its peopl.
I am preparing myself for a march on Washington to show the Congress that senior citizens are not to be screwed with and messing around with Social Security will get them FIRED big time. I constantly marvel at the absolute stupidty of the political hacks who point to the Social Security Administration and that program as a way to lower the deficit. Stupid? Yeah, when anyone with half a brain should understand that Social Security has absolutely nothing to do with the deficit, the national budget (except to have SS funds stripped out to keep the national budget in better shape), and there is absolutely no reason to take any adverse action against senior citizens in this regard.
Every actuarial expert in the nation has made it perfectly clear that removing the FICA cap on wages will end any forecast of funding reductions. Simple and straight forward, but perhaps that’s the major problem, it is simple.
Actually, we all know that the reason they are attacking social security now is that Wall Street is again applying pressure to the congressional political crooks to bring home the bacon to them for all the bribes(donations) and turn over all those trillions of dollars to the “money managers” on the STREET. Yeppers, they really did a great job on financial management over the past few years and especially 2006 to 2008 right?
Anyway, I do pray that Boehner, Cantor and the rest of the GOP leadership can and WILL try to keep their more rabid members from totally destroying the government, the nation and the middle class citizens of this country.
A futile prayer I suspect, but one must have hope.
