What do we need them for?

This is the realization that we all need to focus on. Most of our economic problems, be it health fraud, social security, illegal immigration, social programs etc, (pick your favorite) are a direct result of the ineptness of 584 people to do their job, a job for which we pay them quite well. I am talking about our Federal Government.

They have had DECADES to fix these ill conceived, ineptly run, discriminatory social programs and yet, just what have they accomplished? Things get worse by the day. They fail to be there at roll call, have made protocol rules with the emphasis on personal power with little regard for the good of the country, and ignored their government responsibilities for any number of personal reasons, one of which is ripping us off as they get PAID for a job they are not there to do so that they may run for re-election.

We have been paying for this ineptness for DECADES. Their total lack of fiscal responsibility with our tax money is, at the very least, the pinnacle of irresponsibility.
The latest favorite crusade of this illustrious group is this ridiculous surge to apologize for slavery.

Some 143 years ago, The Civil War, while more about states rights than slavery, cost us thousands of men, mostly white. What more cost must be paid? If they think they need to apologize for slavery then what about all the OTHER Federal Government debacles that are STILL costing us dearly and no, I am not bashing the war in Iraq. We HAVE to make the terrorists keep their heads down over there rather than dealing with them over here.

I am talking about the absolute mess our government has made with almost everything it touches. They have shred The Constitution, being in violation of that precious document in most of what they do. They want to apologize for slavery? They want more social programs for these descendants? The ones presently in place have done little but make them dependent and may bankrupt us in the process. Might I suggest they apologize for things that matter by simply reverting back to doing their job as outlined by our Constitution? Discrimination is illegal yet every social program for special interest groups is blatantly discriminatory. Payouts to select groups with taxpayer money is little more than discriminatory theft against the taxpayer, and the list never ends.

This would be a meaningless apology, much like it would be to apologize to England for dumping all that tea.
