Kill the Damn Continuing Resolution, Stop Voting for Idiotic Incumbents
Derek Hunter
How many times have you heard someone say something along the lines of the problem with Congress being we need term limits? I hear it weekly, if not almost daily. It always makes me cringe a little and I try to be polite, or at least as polite as I can be, and respond that term limits won’t change anything because voters are the real problem. I try to put it nicer than that, but sometimes I just swear because “we” vote for these people.
Have you noticed how the fight over the continuing resolution (the one now or any of them ever) always contains new surprises and a ton of new spending? The name starts off with the word “continuing,” which implies it is simply an agreement to keep things as they are – continuing them for a while – but it always included new, horrible things that cost hundreds of million or billions of dollars.
I don’t think they know what the word “continuing” means.
Actually, they do. They’re counting on the public not knowing or not noticing what they’re doing. In order to keep funding things in the government Congress has already agreed to, Members of Congress need what amounts to bribes by proxy to support it. They’ve already agreed to spend the money, now they’re agreeing to keep spending the money but want more money on top of it because Republicans can’t pull their heads out of their rear ends long enough to do the right thing and demand cuts in spending.
