The United States Congress is back in session on Capitol Hill, which should be renamed to "Capitol Hole", such as in a toilet cesspool hole.
America needs to rally. Jobs are scarce, incomes are falling, and Congress could help, but there are no bold new bipartisan ideas, the nation's legislators have done nothing except argue.
Instead the Civil War continues in Washington, no one there really wants a solution, and no one there will shut up about threatening the shut down of the government.
The circus of clowns known as Congress are back at it once again, doing nothing but moving their dumb mouths for media photo ops, all the while making fools of themselves.
C'mon "distinguished" members of Congress, we have had enough of your nursery school games. Could you all please shut up or shut down, just do whatever it is that you do.
But alas, they will keep jousting with each other for political points gained or lost in the polls.
The GOP-controlled House voted this past week to cripple President Barack Obama's health care law as part of a risky ploy that threatens a government shutdown on October 1st, 2013.
In order for the debt ceiling of the government to be set, the budget to be passed, they added on the defunding of the health care act as an amendment.
The Speaker of the House says there's nothing to worry about here. "There should be no conversation about shutting the government down. Our goal here is to cut spending and to protect the American people from Obamacare. There is no interest in our part of shutting the government down," said Speaker of the House John Boehner.
So says Mr. Boehner and you can trust him because well, he's a politician who is here to "protect the American People".
Gee thanks, gosh , that means us, apparently we the American people need Congress to protect us, especially from Capitol Hole.
But you see Mr. Boehner you're attaching, to the bill that must be passed to keep the government running, an amendment that torpedoes the president's Affordable Care Act. And you're sending it to a Senate run by Democrats.
"I'm not going to predict what the Senate is going to do or not do," said Boehner.
No, you can never tell with those Senate Democrats. They're such inscrutable tight-lipped people when it comes to Republicans.
The rhetoric is designed for the dumbed down American Public that keeps electing these idiots because they believe in the bull shit being shoveled at them by the even dumber mindless media.
House Republicans are like Custer, they will fight no matter that their bill will be defeated by the Senate Democrats.
You can never figure out what any of these "distinguished Congress persons" are actually thinking, but Democrats strongly denounced the Republican move.
Sen. Chuck Schumer of New York said the GOP was pursuing an "insane plan." Sen. Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota said, "A group of extremists is threatening to hold our government hostage."
What a surprise reaction?
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that the real future of America is all a silly game to these politicians. It's all about them, not us.
So I suggest, if Congress is really going to run the same plot every two years, at least mix it up.
Maybe instead of the Republicans attaching the repeal of Obamacare to the budget, the Democrats could attach the repeal of the Second Amendment to the budget.
Then we could go back and forth, linking the budget to the Keystone Pipeline, school prayer, abortion rights, global warming, legalized marijuana, selling flowers to couples getting gay married, the theory of Evolution, or daylight saving time.
The possibilities are endless for the games to continue.
No doubt they will, and of course the losers will always be the American people, because the real issues facing us are never discussed.
