Sequester THIS!!!



I am really getting tired of the inability of the political types in D.C. to do their jobs and get the damn country going forward. There is only one word missing: cooperation. Regardless of party, most of us elected our representatives to get something done. Not to swan around the House or Senate pontificating about the other side. Not to lie and cheat and obfuscate. I think they all do it to an extent and it really pisses me off. Now I also think that one side does it more than the other and the other side thinks the same (but I think they know they are liars). Even if we assume they (all of them) think they are right, they need to GET OFF THE DIME AND GO TO WORK FOR THE PEOPLE!!!
We have had a couple of years of gridlock and financial brinkmanship and it doesn’t look like it is getting better, fiscal-wise. Look at this: good gains in the housing market; consumer confidence up; stock market up; auto sales up; travel up; unemployment down. And these CLOWNS dick with the system to make it weak and puny. It really sucks that we let them get away with it. What to do? Wait until election? Impeach the lot?
Hell if I know. Maybe have a massive uprising and take away their salaries. Demand that if they can’t get the job done, they shouldn’t be paid. Bet things would get moving then. Doubt if we can do it. Too much money supports them.  And they are all rich bastards anyway. They could take the hit and laugh at us. Maybe we should have a giant moon-in with gigantic signs that say “SEQUESTER THIS!!!!!”

I think, just like at any other job where employees are being annually evaluated and can be demoted in case of a poor evaluation, should be applied to the entire political system. Simply a statement of accomplishments and ideas of improvements. If the improvements overshadow the accomplishments or are too ambitious without proper justifications would result in automatic termination. Unfortunately, I wake up and realize that was just a dream...
