Then Congress should be eliminated. There is no excuse for the CDA
rider and my (now ex-)representative who voted for that bill was
voted into office on a campaign of ending politics-as-usual sorts of
things like that.
Bah! Good riddance to bad rubbish to the whole lot of them. Tim May
is right. I don't wish compromise, I only wish to be left alone. Why
is that so hard for people in Washington DC to understand?
Right now I have two senators: Dianne "No problem giving government
contract money illegally to my husband" Swinestein and Barbara "No
money in my checking account? I guess I'll just have to write another
one" Boxer and congressional representative Walter "I cannot think of
any government program which should be eliminated" Capps.
The American government is broken.
