US House of Reps pass Debt Deal bill..

US House of Reps pass Debt Deal bill..

Then leave.. Kind of like a teenage boy after prom.. He Just wrecked the chick and is bailing out of the limo!!!!

As I look at the no’s and yea votes I can’t help but feel the knife twist in my back a bit. I understand the vote, I understand the need to “Save us from disaster” But I’m sure getting sick of it.

Tarp was framed in “Disaster is coming”…The healthcare debates were framed  “A disaster is coming” The stimulus was painted in “Economic disaster if it doesn’t pass”…. Seems like the only way democrats can govern is in crisis.

IS there maybe a chance we can just maybe pass something before it’s a crisis? You know a little “Foresight” instead of “hindsight?”

In business it’s very important to be proactive rather than reactive. A reactive company will be closing it’s doors if it doesn’t predict market changes… Our government can only govern if it frames everything around “For the children, old people, retards, cripples, grandma, grandpa, poor, rich, minority, religion etc etc”…

Why does Washington believe that the only way we’ll support something is if the alternative is “Disaster” Why not come out before hand and say look this is the direction we’re headed and we need to alter course? Why not come out and tell the people the truth? Because as Colonel Jessup said in “A few Good Men” WE CAN’T HANDLE THE TRUTH.. I guess.

I find it totally disgusting and repulsive that “Shamnesy” Graham is the lone voice of reason in the senate. He spoke on Greta today saying that “This bill puts our nation at risk, we are under enormous threats that I can’t even tell you about right now” Um.. like an invasion from the south? Um.. maybe? Um just maybe there Lyndsey it was you who put us at risk?…

All in all I’d say this vote wasn’t terrible for America. It wasn’t the best possible, but it was the best we could get I guess. The alternative was what? “Economic disaster” which I was okay with too…. Personally had we got “Economic disaster” I’d be pushing harder in support for every candidates NO vote cast. Now, not so sure. I’ll see how it goes in September.

The reality is we only controlled 1/3 of government. Not enough power to affect much more change than what we got… Kudos to those who were ready to take it to the wall. Kudos to those who felt compromise was the way to go. Defend your vote in the next election either way.
