Congress does actually work


Well some of them do. Most just seem to be running for re-election all the time.

I am a HUGE believer in the Constitution AND a stable balance (see President Eisenhower's Farewell Speech re : Balance) of social and economic interaction.

We have an active 'Liberal' political structure. THe 'Conservative' - not so much.
But as disappointed as I have become over the last several year in the Conservative movement's direction, some are still active and even making a mark.

'A small, bipartisan group of lawmakers in both the House and Senate are secretly drafting deficit grand bargain legislation that cuts entitlements and raises new revenue'.

This is just the first step in a long and fragile process and may not amount to anything and especially in an election year.

But what it is about is what America and most Americans are.

We are NOT about no compromise. We are NOT about political parties over people. we are not about demonizing those we don't agree with.

We are about solving our problems and moving forward, not backwards.
