Government Shutdown


       I understand that the congressmen and women we have elected to watch over us and do what's right for us have decided to do nothing while America goes, as my father would say, "to hell in a hand basket".   
     With all due respect, I believe the country would be much better served if during that time, all of those smug, self-important lawmakers were to lose their paychecks, have their insurance revoked and be placed in the beginnings of bankruptcy. It's my humble opinion that the crisis would be solved within a day if that were to happen. 
     Of course that would mean the republicans and democrats would actually have to talk to each other instead of posturing, boasting and showing us dramatically how "much they care". Our trusted congressmen and women need to start remembering why America is called the land of the brave and the home of the free, and why we are still the greatest country in the world before we rise up as a people, take back their jobs and wish them well anywhere but 'serving us' in the government  
     Why is it that politicians can't see the forest for the trees? It's such a shame. It's time to put America's future ahead of any tough times we might need to go through to get us where we need to be. I wonder how many people agree with me out there?
