The Debt Ceiling talks drew the attention of the people to their personal dissatisfaction with political business being conducted as usual. The simile is apparent. American politics is like getting a stale peanut butter sandwich for lunch every day, you feel so much better when you get some spoiled jelly to put on the hard-tack. It looks like something good is happening but you’re really still not getting anything nutritive out of the product.

Entrenched, old-guard, narcissistic, vainglorious stuffed shirts seek recognition and positions of power; they don’t want seats in government as much as they want thrones in their personal fiefdoms. They want the recognized grandeur of their elevated rung on a ladder going nowhere.

Many of these elected (not appointed by God as so many of them think) but sufficiently officious individuals stick their noses into areas they were never solicited to hold control over. They project themselves as having all the answers but never really get a grasp on what any particular question is about at the moment. They invariably start each diktat with “YES WE CAN!â€

No doubt in my mind the professional politician needs to go the way of the dinosaur, term limits, eliminate lobbyist and perhaps we can cut corruption down to a point America can survive.

Why should America have a ruling elite class that remains in DC 40 years playing same old games year after year don't believe the founding fathers intended for it to be this way.
