OBSTRUCTION INC.
When politics triumphs over common sense, chaos reigns.
American politics is about power and control defined as the exchange of money for the power to influence the use of government force.
July 30, 2017 post entitled “A New American Way???” suggests ways to drain the SWAMP.
The biggest obstruction to doing anything useful for the people in this country is the United States Senate. The senate is populated by 100 self important jackasses who care nothing about the well being of the American people but only with how much TV face time they can get to show the audience how important they are. They are pure scum.
Since Congress seems to be on recess more time than doing the peoples’ business, let us make being a member of congress a part time job with part time pay and benefits only when in session. Convert all those fat pensions to a 401k like the rest of the country.
The lack of congressional progress in implementing President Trump’s health and tax reforms and recent federal court decisions are prime examples of why we need to pass the Revised Accountability (March 19, 2017 post) and Federal Judiciary (March 31, 2016 post) Amendments to the Constitution. The Revised Accountability Amendment would enable the public to remove federal officials and overturn federal laws and court decisions. The Federal Judiciary Amendment removes federal judge lifetime appointments and replaces them with a single elected 10 year term. In retrospect, a single 5 year term might provide better government. All politicians will vigorously oppose both amendments because it makes all government immediately accountable to the public with serious consequences for lying and actions that damage our citizens and country.
The voters will need to get on the phone to call their member of congress and demand these changes.
