Washington, DC needs an enema. The senate and congress are "occupied" by a bunch of old pus bags whose only interest is keeping their job and their unbelievable retirement package that they passed for themselves, is funded by you and me, and we never had a say in it. They have no progressive ideas, and won't do anything to upset status quo. They are a joke. There needs to be term and age limits for both the house and senate. I don't know about you, but the last person I want focusing on 2009 issues is some 90 year old who's never had a real job.

Do you know why no government agency in the history of the world can operate within a budget? Because unlike you and me, it has an endless cash supply to tap into: taxes. In addition, they have no accountability. Anytime a budget is exceeded, somebody should be accountable to explain why. In the absence of good and valid reasons, that person and everyone who works for him/her should be fired, or at least receive no compensation increase.
