Political chaos

Is anyone concerned that our government continues to slide into chaos?

Let’s start with our president recently being made a fool of by an ex-KGB thug (Vladimir Putin) via an op-ed published in the New York Times. Foreign policy dictated by a foreign dictator — are you kidding me?

Are we dumbfounded knowing that the government allowed the national debt to exceed its GDP?

Are we perplexed that not one single person has been indicted for the IRS scandal where the IRS targeted Obama’s political adversaries?

Are we even more outraged that this Congress can’t balance a budget or control its spending, not to mention passing a health care bill designed to control one third of our economy and probably destroy the best healthcare system in the world? A 2,733-page bill with that went directly from Harry Reid’s desk to the Senate floor, bypassed Senate committee, passed on a partisan vote, without one member having read this bill. Oh don’t forget, the later addition of 20,000 pages of regulations when stacked, reach seven feet high.

If you’re not ready to blow your top, then you should be because the most egregious fault of all, that started the chaos in the first place, is that year after year we give a free pass and re-elect rich, powerful politicians who have made it a science to make fools of us.
