Crisis du jour

Have you noticed how many "crisis's" there are? There's the "Global Warming Crisis", the "Education Crisis", the "Poverty Crisis" and our latest, the "Economic Crisis". In this crisis, we are told that unless the politicians pass the obscene spending bill they just passed, that bad things were going to happen. What bad things? They couldn't be specific, but definitely "bad things" unless they act "RIGHT NOW". No time to think, no time to debate, ACT NOW!

So, say you come in to the hospital bleeding from the artery in your neck, the doctor looks at you and says, "we must ACT NOW because your condition is a "crisis". Then, he tries putting a band aid on the bleeding but it falls off. He then suddenly looks at his calendar and exclaims, "It's a holiday, I'll get back to your crisis in a day or so."
That's pretty much what our "Representatives did. They tried to pass a bill, the people screamed NO! It didn't pass but they said they really need to do something because of the "crisis". Oh, but, it's a holiday, so we'll get back to this in a couple days.

What a load of crap.

Every time the politicians want to fleece the general public, they invent another crisis to get everyone stirred up and make it seem action is necessary. Well, from the public outcry of this last fleecing, I think everyone is waking up. Well don't fall asleep again. VOTE THE BUMS OUT NOW.

Take back the government from professional politicians. Elect people that have had experience in life and have a taste of how the real world works for the real people out here. That's what I'm going to do.
