When I first went to college, I was a political science major.  True story.  I wanted to eventually either go the grad school route and teach or go to law school and be part of the machine.  Somewhere along the line I became entranced with medicine and healthcare and eventually wound up here.  No regrets.

I give that back ground because I have reached the point where I am completely disgusted with the political machine.  This includes both Democrats and Republicans.  While I tend to be fiscally conservative and socially more liberal, I think the machine is broken.  To wit, our government debt is now equal to the GDP of the country, roughly $14 trillion.  Think about that.  $14 trillion in debt with no plan to pay it off or even live within our means for the foreseeable future.  There were over ten thousand earmarks in the recent spending bills.  This is where Congress spends your money on their pet projects.  The health care bill was touted as deficit reducing but it depended on Congress cutting spending… in future years.  Does anyone really think that was going to happen.  It was a tough decision so it was put off and would have continue to be put off because there is no will to make tough decisions.

I would love to see term limits in Congress.  I would love to see the current Congress dissolved and have us start over.  This current group is currently unable or unwilling to make tough decisions and control their desire to spend.  I recommend you not vote for any incumbent in the upcoming election.

Washington is in desperate need of an enema.
