I could talk about current and past tragedies, gun laws or even the weather...what it comes down to is whether or not Congress can pull it's head out of the "dark area " long enough to agree on anything, and the public's passion about issues that either directly or indirectly affect them.
First off. Find out more information than you see on FOX news. Please. FOX news is so biased and basically worthless, it is amazing that they have a following of any kind. Newspapers are a little better and it's in black and white, unless the comics are in color.
Especially things posted online or sent by email will likely be slanted, "against" this or "for" that. Be wary and make up your own mind when it comes to important issues. Know your Legislators and Senators. Know what they do...heck, know what they did before becoming a powerful member in your Government.
At least in the diagram above you see a diverse group...sort of. All most see are 535 folks that are overly rich and either Democrat or Republican ( or Independent ). I see only the largest Government waste among a group of 535 who are charged to work for the benefit of the People, yet can only bicker, disagree and withhold votes...thus, doing nothing.
Only by being proactive can we truly see what's going on and which direction, We The People must go in order to achieve some semblance of balance in our Government. Vote smarter, not harder.
Have a great weekend everyone and see you next week, or sooner if Congress stonewalls some more.
