It's been apparent for many years that politicians live in their own world. Especially the one's in D.C. and the point can't be proven any better than something said yesterday.
House Speaker, John Boehner, said Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid "owes the American people an explanation" for not taking action on the funding bill that passed the House and would cut $61 billion in federal spending. Reid's spokesman immediately fired back, saying: "That's tough talk from someone who is being bossed around by a bunch of freshmen."
Now, Reid's spokesman's words might have some kind of import to members of congress who reside in their delusional vacuum and see themselves as above it all, therefore unaffected by anything newcomers say or think. But, on the other hand, maybe they ought to give that premise more thought. Because the newcomers are there in the first place due to the fact that voters are sick and tired of retread party hacks who have no regard for the pocketbooks of their constituents, so they're voting to replace them.
Beyond that, most astute incumbents are very aware of the message sent by the voters on last election day. Because the signal was loud and clear. Voters aren't going to sit still anymore, and want some kind of action, particularly about wasteful spending and fiscal irresponsibility.
And I think Reid's spokesman ought to wake up and realize what's going on around him, because next election day the number of freshman is likely to grow exponentially and he himself might suffer if he doesn't show them some respect.
That's it for today folks.
Adios
