The squabbling in Washington over their ideological thinking is ridiculous. The jobs that I'm referring to are the 100 Senate seats, 435 Congress seats and the one that resides in the white house.
Democrats are under the impression that we can fix their spending spree without touching Medicare, Social Security and Medicaid. They don't want to offend seniors who are a large portion of their voting base.
Republicans on the other hand are unwilling to budge on taxing the wealthy saying that they are the job creators. If that were true, we would have more jobs since Dubya Bush virtually eliminated their taxes. They don't want to offend their huge contributors.
So here we sit holding the bag while they gamble with our future. There will not be a clear winner in this tactical game of politics. Our interest rates are on the brink of being raised, our credit rating as a country is in jeopardy and the arrogance of both parties is threatening the global economy.
What can we do?? Voice your opinion! Grow a pair and write to your Congressman/Senators/President! Let them know that they need to both give in and make the deal for America. Don't just sit on your hands and say "There's nothing I can do about it!" YOU CAN! Let them know that their jobs are in jeopardy. They don't want to be out of work in this economy either.
To write to them you need to go to their official government page and use the CONTACT US button. Fill in your information and write them a quick note expressing your feelings on the matter. Don't be vulgar!
