Calling the Kettle Black

While publicly grandstanding about their concern for Main Street, Congress voted to turn $700 billion of Main Street’s dollars over to Wall Street in defiance of overwhelming opposition from their constituents. Then they proceeded to lace the bill with more pork than Jimmy Dean and Bob Evans combined. By the way Mr. Sherman, what pay cuts did you or your fellow politicians take to show solidarity with Main Street? Yeah, I thought so.

Then there is my favorite quote by Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi. "Until we can see a plan where the auto industry is held accountable and a plan for viability on how they go into the future . . . until they show us the plan, we cannot show them the money," Maybe it is time we held Congress to this standard. Ms. Pelosi, until the American taxpayer can see a plan where Congress is held accountable and a plan for viability on how Congress will operate in the future…until Congress shows the American taxpayer the plan, we cannot show you the money.

The only way to hold Congress accountable is to vote them out but each election cycle, the worst offenders are re-elected again and again.
