Messed up priorities
I had to laugh as I scanned the headlines of the Drudge Report today.
The first story I saw was that federal debt in the United States was at a staggering $9 trillion — or $30,000 for every man, woman and child legally living in the country. You can read it by clicking here.
The next story I saw was how our ultra-efficient Congress, ignoring the staggering number above, opted instead to focus on forcing employers of family-oriented businesses, like campgrounds, to hire transgender employees. You can read it by clicking here.
Since the U.S. Constitution requires all spending bills to originate in the House of Representatives, it appears as though our elected leaders have completely and forever lost grip with reality and their constitutional responsibilities.
As the U.S. dollar collapses around the world . . . as we wage war against a group of people who believe they gain entrance to heaven by killing innocent people . . . as our nation continues to be robbed by rising costs of foreign oil because we can’t access oil under our own lands — the U.S. Congress feels it’s more important to convey civil rights protection to a tiny group of people who choose to make sexual activity the focus of their lives.
What was that about fiddlers playing as Rome burned?

Would you expect anything different from the morons the electorate has been sending to Washington the past half century? They don’t care what we think, they don’t care what we say, and they will continue to do whatever they want to do and continue to waste our time, money, and tax dollars on this type of legislation versus solving real problems. I’m not surprised by this at all. I’m am upset, but the people who care are in the minority these days and we have nobody to blame but ourselves for letting this happen. The apathy of the American voter and tax payer is pathetic and many have given up all hope of ever restoring honesty, integrity, and morals to the electoral process.
