Oh Yes….We NEED a Vacation..

Hmmmm…..an on line story yesterday labeled our current U.S. Congress as the biggest "do-nothing-Congress" in history. Of course they do manage to get in the news. I can sort of imagine the behind-the-scenes conversations.

 "Hey, I know, let's distract voters from our less-than-stellar track record by deciding to sue the President! Let's claim that he's doing too much with the power of HIS office….but then oh yes, we're doing way too little with the power of ours. But maybe if we make enough noise then the voters will forget the real problems facing our country and get caught up in the drama of the idea that we, the Congress, can sue the President!"

So yes…they've worked SO hard to get basically NOTHING of import accomplished therefore they all really deserve this five WEEK summer vacation.

Time to go back to their home districts, chill out, play golf or whatever and start raising funds for their next term.

If all these children were playing in my back yard I'd call time-out…send them all home until they could learn to play/work together. Oh yes…they are going home aren't they.

Too bad I have no confidence that when they return to "work" they'll decide to reach across the aisle and try to find common ground to remedy common problems.
