three months at a time. Note the debt limit vote. It is only to force other issues that certain elected officials deem more worthy to defend than the country and their own voters.
It is time to end brinksmanship and politics and remember that you, Congress, are representatives of the people of the United States of America.
Politics is particularly ugly these days, which is why I got out of it over two decades ago. I was a policy wonk and hate this stuff.
Congress is hurting federal workers and the American people so they can deny us health care. I had a scare this past week, thinking I may lose my limbs and internal organs and die.
Luckily my husband has health insurance. For now. All I could think of was what would happen to my husband (and dog, of course) if I died. That is what people think about as they wait four days for test results.
Does Congress really want to end health care? You’re on a platinum plan for life so you don’t know that in a layoff we mere mortals have to go on COBRA that costs over 1K per month and if one has no income we’re not making anything because there’s no job so let it go.
Do you know the show Undercover Boss? I ask Congress-people to go to another’s district and pose as a worker and see how you feel at the end of the day. Both parties, please. Let’s do this after the Mexican standoff.
I believe in our country and its foundations, and also think things have gone awry. We pay to live in a nice place but today we’re on the news with a missing person and police are everywhere. How did we go so wrong? Dee
