2:00 AM Eastern time Senate gets it done!

Too bad we went over the edge a while ago. Almost 17 trillion in debt?!?!
Yeah, let's hope it stops there. (We know it won't.) At least the Farm Bill did get passed and we don't have to shell out a 'wheel barrel of dollars' for a gallon of milk.

In the big picture they did very little. From the top down our government is failing. I am disgusted by their lack of ability and willingness.

Absolutely right!



Let's look at the broader picture... it's the American people that continue to elect, and then re-elect, ever more polarized legislators.

Oh but wait, theres even a bigger picture.......There aren't enough American people voting or getting involved.
We need to get the message out and motivate more Americans........create posters of all the faces of these irresponsible politicians and hold these bastards accountable!!

If more Americans get involved, the posters won't be needed. But I do agree that more participation will help.

Posters with the faces of the politicians and a description of the role they play or have played posted throughout America will give the people with not enough time, resources, or energy a visual of what and who is going on in America and possibly motivate them to get more involved.

House of Rep's have approved the Bill

I've said it time and again -- people get caught up in voting "Presidential" and then they'll go and vote for their Representatives and Senators and they don't have ANY IDEA what they stand for, or maybe even, what party they are with! And they're FAR more important! The POTUS doesn't make law... he's just a friggin' mouthpiece. The House and the Senate make the laws.

12 trillion with ourselves...its mind blowing. Don't worry they will just raise their credit limit. Debt ceiling HAAAAA you need an actual house to have a ceiling.
