You know, I’m really getting tired of our elected representatives’ inability to function as… well… our elected representatives. And all members of congress, irrespective of party, are equally responsible.
Quite frankly, their continual blame-gaming, scape-goating, and attention-seeking posturing looks like an attempt to avoid making the hard decisions required of a mature governing body and, truly, this is nothing less than a dereliction of duty and a disservice to the electorate.
The most important of these “hard decisions” include those required to fund those government functions that ensure that the administration performs to the benefit of the citizenry and, sadly, this is not happening. In fact, if they don’t get off their collective butts, the government may shut down.
After some thought, I formulated a plan that would compel them to focus on the nation’s problems and develop logical solutions in a reasonable time instead of simply preening and posturing before their supporters.
Firstly, temporarily relocate all 535 members of congress to a large field, house them in military pup tents, provide them with a large communal tent in which to conduct the nation’s business, and allocate them 3 sandwiches and a gallon of water per day.
And, also, grant them access to 50 porta-potties.
After a week of congressional non-action, half of the porta-potties will be removed and, shortly after that, I suspect that the budget will pass.
But, if it takes longer than that, we’ll know what our politicians are full of … both figuratively and literally …
