To Sue Or Not To Sue, Too.

       I don't know about you, but I've been hearing suggestions to sue Congress for dereliction of duty ever since the House GOP voted to sue the President. The thing is, what good would that do? Suppose you did sue them and suppose you won? What would you win? They'd love to put Congress out of business, especially if they could keep the President tied up with lawsuits against him at the same time. The thing is, they don't think government is a good thing anyway.
       For a Tea-drinker from the GOP, the best thing would be for no business to be conducted at all by the government. And even without the Tea Party, the only reason to be in Congress these days is as an entry level position for the lobbying or PAC industries. No, the only way to end this business is to flood the lobbying market with way more ex-Congressmen and ex-Senators than the industry can use by requiring term limits of just under two years for Representatives and just under six years for Senators.
       That way there would never be a reason to do any fund raising, especially if they were not allowed to switch back and forth between the two houses either. By doing this, our elected officials would be forced to spend their time looking for other sources of gainfull employment during their tenure. There might then be time for them to spend on doing for Americans what is needed by Americans.
       It's not that I don't appreciate all the silliness these childish adults offer in the way of humor for those of us who get a kick out of these grown people causing us to groan, but most, if not all, of these kiddies have gone through their repertoires too many times to keep track and we do need some fresh routines. That way, fresh new faces and even more silly ideologies present themselves for us to make fun of.
