Congress is full of Jack Wagons

Congress is full of Jack Wagons. We need to get off Mambie Pambie Island and start doing what they are doing in the Middle East; taking back our damn country. I mean it is OUR country right? I feel like a stranger in my own land. Am I crazy?

When did this problem of balancing budgets and joblessness become Obama's fault? When? Was it when the old administration allowed our jobs to be shipped overseas so the greedy corporations could make an even larger profit at our expense? Was it when the old administration allowed banks to give loans on overpriced homes to people who couldn't afford them? Or maybe it was when the old administration turned a blind eye to the Wall Street Cronies as they stole people's retirements, dreams and livelihoods?

Seriously, does Congress think we are idiots? We voted Obama in. I thought we said enough of this political bullcrap? Yet here we are again. Republicans jockeying for position and honestly, I don't know what the Democrats are doing. They've got their tails between their legs. Get some balls. Tell the truth, say it louder and get your people to back you up.

John Boehner, you are an idiot and a cry baby. Who cries like that? Ughhh. Don't act like it's Obama's fault. He walked into this mess - you Jack Wagon. Why don't you go to your corporations and Wall Street D-Bags and tell them to give us back the jobs and the money you stinkin' Republicans let them steal from hard working Americans. WTF?

I'm fed up. When Obama was elected, it was the first time in a long time that I felt like the American dream was alive again. But every time he tries to create change - he gets cockblocked. Health Insurance, I don't know what they did but they found a loophole. Three years ago, I paid $64 dollars for my son's insurance. Today it costs $215 for a similar plan with less coverage. Credit cards. He put a bill forth that was to stop credit card companies from screwing us over. Before the bill was enacted, credit card companies raised annual percentage rates (APR) on people, citing it was a necessary step to cover their asses. Now I pay 22.95% APR on a card I haven't been late on, have paid the balances in full at time and been a good customer.

Now, we are talking about cutting when we should be talking about how to get our jobs back. Without jobs, we are never going to recover. Corporations, wealthy people, they don't need tax breaks. People don't want handouts, they want opportunity. You have to invest in our children's education and in the continuing education of those who want to be contributing members of society. Isn't this the land of opportunity?

All I want is for the nonsense to stop and for people with good ideas to be able to make things happen. What happened to "yes, we can?"
