What Happened Here?

I was going to continue ranting about this dysfunctional president and his goof-ball administration. However, it has become clear that our entire government is completely asleep at the wheel. Obama is very bad news but if we can't get the republican party to do the right thing, Obama is the least of our worries--in the short term.

Obama is a complete and blundering fool, which is bad enough. But when we can't even get a meaningful proposal debated on the Senate floor, we're in deep, deep trouble.

The two proposals being floated by the establishment are bogus at best. They do next to nothing about the problems and pretty much just kick the can down the road like they've always done.

Cut, Cap, and Balance is the only viable and meaningful proposal on the table and the Democratic-controlled Senate won't touch it with a 10-ft pole.

Time to get serious here folks. The current government got us into this mess and they certainly aren't going to get us out of it. What can be done?

Can we recall the entire House, Senate, and President? Is there a provision for such a situation? Did the framers of the Constitution envision this situation? Is there any way out of this?

I don't have a clue. All I know is that none of the solutions that seem to be favored by the politicians at the moment will do anything to solve the problem. All they are doing is trying to pass the problem on to another congress or another President and keep the spending going.

We have to cut, cap, and balance now!
