Life, Liberty & the Pursuit of Happiness

I still don’t understand how they are getting away with it, but a handful of arrogant and cynical legislators have managed to hijack the USA. And I’m talking about the entire USA and everyone in it. The rest of the world will follow.

These self-righteous traitors are trying  to make President Obama look as bad as possible, and they don’t care if they destroy the USA in the process. They have shut down the government and threaten to refuse to pay debts that we (actually Congress) have already incurred.

The idea of “majority rules”as envisioned by our Founding Fathers is the bedrock of our legislative system, and it is being mocked by this group of terrorists. I thought the process was that If you don’t like a law (like the Affordable Health Act) you get elected, introduce a bill, get it passed, and override any veto that may come. This is the American Constitutional method.

Theses terrorists are threatening the democratic way we govern ourselves. I call them terrorists since the havoc and destruction they can (and have) wreak if carried out fully, will destroy our economy, demoralize our people, increase our deficit. The entire litany is too long for this letter, but I hope you get the idea. If you want a complete description of the catastrophic results of the debt ceiling issue got to  http://www.treasury.gov/initiatives/Documents/POTENTIAL MACROECONOMIC IMPACT OF DEBT CEILING BRINKMANSHIP   . The disaster is far reaching and ranges from world-wide depression, cancellation of Social Security payments to the destabilizing effect from of faith in U.S. Treasuries as the the only risk-free asset in the world.

Hostage holding and threatening to destroy is what terrorists do. And unfortunately that is what faces us now.

We must deal with it strongly and boldly. Leaders who understand and care must rise and take action.
