We the People...

We the people….
…..government of the people, by the people, for the people….
Seems to me some of the people representing us are different people than most of us, unless you happen to be a millionaire or better. Not anyone that I happen to know, nor I.
No one has been able to explain to me why young men and women serve in the U.S. Military for 20 years, risking their lives protecting freedom, and only get 50% of their pay. While Politicians hold their political positions in the safe confines of the capital, protected by these same men and women, and receive full pay retirement after serving one term. It just does not make any sense.
Monday, December 26, we learned that the staffers of Congress family members are exempt from having to pay back student loans. This will get national attention if news networks will broadcast it. When you add this to the below, just where will all of it stop?
This is an idea that we should address.
For too long we have been too complacent about the workings of Congress. Many citizens had no idea that members of Congress could retire with the same pay after only one term, that they specifically exempted themselves from many of the laws they have passed while citizens must live under those laws. The latest is to exempt themselves from the Healthcare Reform... in all of its forms. Somehow, that does not seem logical. We do not have an elite group of people that is above the law. I truly do not care if they are Democrat, Republican, Independent or whatever. The self-serving must stop.
Proposed 28th Amendment to the United States Constitution: "Congress shall make no law that applies to the citizens of the United States that does not apply equally to the Senators and/or Representatives; and, Congress shall make no law that applies to the Senators and/or Representatives that does not apply equally to the citizens of the United States."
Do I even need to go into the whole Obama family world tour, or the taking of separate aircraft for their 4 million dollar Christmas vacation? Maybe I will do a commentary about the “President” all by himself. I will think on that. It is the stuff of nightmares-him being re-elected. Can we really afford both Congress and this President? We are going broke, and we had better do something about it. Today, 1-5-12, we now have another four czars; why? He says Congress will not co-operate, so he is what- by-passing them? How do you get that job, and what does it pay? There are already too many to begin with. G.W. Bush, whose name is tossed about as the “cause” of all of the problems which seem to have come up under Obama. GW did not have a Republican Congress, and he accomplished nothing during that time. Obama started with a Democratic Congress, and did more than nothing, he immediately began screwing this Great Nation up. I am a liberal conservative, and my views are not tempered by any loyalty to any party. I simply have the ability to see, hear and read to know what I am saying. I know incompetence when I see it. I have doctors and a lawyer. Regardless, everyone is entitled to an opinion, unless you are in Congress, and you say- oh, maybe the first lady has “a large posterior”. Well, even though it is true, poor guy had to apologize. After all, the other politicians might kick him out of the clubhouse for actually being honest, if only about this one thing. They are probably worried his honesty may be contagious. Feedback is welcome.
