Americans are raising various unpalatable crops over the recent debates in Washington over the national debt, taxes and so forth.

No s'prise there.


Unfortunately what is also not a surprise is the furor Americans have when they perceive Congress does nothing.

What we have just witnessed is the most substantial, detailed, vigorous and yes HEALTHY debate on a major nation issue in decades.

Lemme restate that for you.

Congress. Did. Its. Job.

Got that? Our lawmakers did exactly what they were hired to do. The fact that it was also partisan in the extreme is irrelevant. Those people in Washington did what their constituents asked 'em to do. That you don't like this is relevant, but there ain't much you can do about it.


Our elected leaders took a major issue. They dissected it. They chewed it up. They spit it out. They stomped on it. They put it under a microscope. They tried to come to grips with it. They tried to do what they were elected to do. They tried to do what they felt was best for the country. I remind you - Our elected officials are in possession of FAR more facts about the deficit, the budget and US fiscal policy than you are.

And you don't like this?

You complain when Congress passes stuff without comment. You complain when Congress passes stuff with a modicum of comment. You complain when Congress is turned into a sausage factory of discussion and debate.

Pray tell, what do you want?

I suggest to you that the most delusional people are not the ones serving in Congress.
