Good question Foxer, that's just the way it has always been. The politicians have been men and women of privilege, for the most part. It does really bother me sometimes that congress and the president can't seem to agree on anything or just aren't getting anything done.

    What really galls me is that he spent so much money on so-called "bail-outs" to help the economy, and they didn't do anything except get us in more debt.  And it's not helping that our senators and congressman are pandering to the lobbyists who helped get them elected.  If they don't pass a balanced budget, then America's credit score is going to go down, causing us citizens to have to pay higher interest rates on loans.  Excuse me?  I don't think that's fair at all, because we're not the ones overspending our budget.  We've all had to tighten our belts, so what about Senate and Congress?  Obama's genius fix is raise the debt ceiling.  Been there, done, that!  Obma and his Washington cronies aren't going to wake up and smell the coffee until we start having riots here like they did in Greece.
