Looks like Republican wins (ok, only one) have effectively kept the Democrats from having a filibuster-proof Senate. Too bad that the very people whom we elect to serve us have no concept of serving. It's almost more like they want to be server. I can thing of many ways they can participate in our recovery – like stop flying in private jets, or taking high salaries. Why don't they read all the stuff for Congress rather than have their staff people read and tell them what it says?
Apparently there have been cases of someone in the House or Senate voting on a bill, and not having any idea of what is actually in the package – oops, guess they get that from some of their constituents who vote the way someone tells them, rather than read and discuss the "Voter Handbook."
Keep watching the way things go in Washington, and remember that something was going to change. Can only hope for the best for Obama and his team, but I wouldn't trust a plumber to do my heart surgery. Even more leary of elected officials who have never held a real job for a money making enterprise. You know, one where part of their job is to help the company make money so it can stay in business.
