As you prepare to vote Tuesday, here is something for you to think about....CONGRESS HASN'T DONE ANYTHING FOR YEARS!!! Yet, these midterm elections WILL BE THE MOST EXPENSIVE IN HISTORY, just like the last ones. FOUR BILLION DOLLARS, this time around... that's BILLION, with a"B"!!! So, a rhetorical question: "Do you think you are getting your money's worth?" Better candidates? Better government?
I doubt that, but it does raise yet another question. Can you name a commodity or a product that gets worse and worse, that produces less and less of what it is supposed to produce, yet, gets more expensive? Maybe you can name one but the only thing I can think of is American politics. I am not blaming it on Republicans OR Democrats, I am blaming it on Republicans AND Democrats who have turned what used to be an "amateur sport" into a "Professional Business" where the jobs that volunteers used to do for free have been outsourced to professionals. That's also unique to politics. Outsourcing something you were getting for free to someone who charges you for it and, in the process, winding up with an inferior product; a government that remains in permanent gridlock.
The right to vote is our proudest possession, but the way it has become debased by money, shames us all.
Hold on!! Perhaps there is another I can think of; gets worse and worse, produces less and less of what it is supposed to produce, used to be free, now debased by money... can you say... "FUBAR"???
