Ahhh Congress. Ya loves ta Hate Em

Have ya noticed how many small, population wise, states are moving their caucus and primary dates up? Iowa just moved theirs up to Jan. 3. If they keep going, somebody will hold theirs the day after the general election, for the next election. It's no wonder Iowa wants to be first. After all it's quite an important state. election wise.What do they have, five or six electoral votes? Maybe the idea is to get them all out of the way before the big states, population wise, get into voting. What if the whole country all voted or caucused on the same day, just like the general election? Wouldn't that be better? Not so, say the small states. See, they wouldn't get all the attention the get now. So they wouldn't like a same day solution. It's like eliminating all political parties and have the two top contenders have a runoff in the general elections. What chance do you think there would be of having that pass the congress? Uh huh. Just about as much chance as we'd have of getting term limits through congress. So if congress is the reason we can't get important and needed bills through the congress, do you suppose the problem is with congress? Or maybe it's with the parties and the individual members of congress? Or maybe it has to do with somebody who came up with an idea to get all the members of one party to sign a pledge that basically says NO TAXES, even if it destroys the country. Now I don't like taxes any more than you do, but if push came to shove and we needed taxes for, oh say, better education, I think I'd be willing to spare a little bit more. Anyway the problem is still with congress. Well actually the two parties. And the individual members of congress.
