Who Made That Decision?

Ya wantta know the problem with Washington? It's just like the old favorite Real Estate slogan says "Location, location, location". Yep, that's the whole problem with our country. Washington is located in the wrong place. If Washington was located in some other place, in fact almost any other place, we'd be a lot better off. How much do you think they paid for that location? Not much. Well, you get what you pay for. Ya know, there's a place in Tennessee called, Buck Snort. That would have been a better place. How about Hop Bottom, Pa? I'll bet there are hundreds of quiet, off the beaten path, villages in any one of the states that would have been better. Why do I say this? Why do I think Washington is in the wrong place? Because all the politicians are there. The best place would be a tiny village that isn't even on any road maps.That way the politicians and lobbyists wouldn't be able to find it. Things would go so much smoother. Government would actually work for a change. Just think, bills could get passed, budget fights would be settled And no media either. That alone would make the move worth while. Actually, I suppose Washington has it's useful side too. It is a good place to send some of the kooks, philanderers, embezzlers, bigots and all around trouble and problem makers. It would be years before they realized they weren't the big fish in the pond. By then it would be time to move on to another hidden village. The only problem would be in keeping the location secret. That's because as soon as you start shipping in the folks who actually run the government, the locals would all sell their homes at enormous profit and move out and blab the news all over the place. Of course, after the government moved on again, the locals could move back in and buy their now vacant, subsidized and remodeled homes at low, low prices. Some things never change.
