There is no "situation" other than our government has slowly grown over the years out of proportion to what it is supposed to be and supposed to do.
Congress is now a group of lifetime career politicians. Each with a huge staff. And they are in session every day of the week. Doing stupid shit like hearings on steroids.
Passing new laws EVERY DAY. I think we just may already have enough laws.
But they seem to think that they MUST be in session everyday to vote on all these "important" things.
And just look how great a job they do year after year. Send them all home. We don't need them in session everyday making useless proclamations. That isn't what our govt. was supposed to be.
And if it's laughable that I'm comparing it to 1776...then I would say I am not comparing the world to 1776, but the principles that are supposed to guide our nation. I say that those are timeless. And if they were in place now...we wouldn't be in half the shit that we are today.
I truly believe we should vote EVERY politician out of office every term. One and done. Get rid of the career politicians spending OUR money. Get every able bodied man and woman off the govt. tit and back to being more independent. And get the govt. out of our personal lives and out of our bank accounts as much as possible.
