Not surprisingly, Congress failed in their duties (yet again), and the government is currently shutdown (yet again). This is really getting old and pathetic.
It really doesn't matter who gets the blame, or why. Both parties are at fault, and need to be held accountable. If we start voting out losers on both sides, like Lindsey Graham and Chuck Schumer, maybe the rest will finally get the message (though I doubt it).
The solutions to this problem are extremely simple...
1. DO THE DAMNED JOB YOU WERE ELECTED TO DO!
2. We need to pass a constitutional amendment that, if these losers can't pass a budget on time, the previous budget remains in effect. No more shutdowns.
3. We also need an amendment that prevents multiple, unrelated issues from being put in the same bill (A "no pork" amendment). This would stop people from holding the system hostage by demanding things like DACA on a budget resolution.
4. I would like to see reasonable term limits on all members of Congress. There are no good reasons for, and nothing good ever comes from, having a Senator or a Representitive in office for twenty or thirty years.
I hate to admit it, but the system that has served us so well for over 200 years, is now breaking down. It's not natural, and not by accident. We are being deliberately sabotaged by people whom have learned how to use it against us.
We don't need to abandon the principles that made us great. We just need to reinfuse our values back into the system, and clear out all the dead weight. Time to fire the majority in Congress (Republican or Democrat) and get some fresh blood in, after a Constitutional reset.
