I am so disappointed with our elected officials. How did we get here? We have two days to resolve something that has been discussed for weeks. So why would we believe that with their backs against the walls now all of a sudden the word compromise will again become relevant? The House passed a bill last night that they knew would be DOA once the Senate looked at it. Senator Mitch McConnell has 43 Republican senators already in place ready to shout no to anything that Senator Reid presents to them. McConnell is demanding that the president be involved in the discussions, but why? Isn’t this now something that has to be worked out by the legislative branch of the government? I talked to my retired uncle today. He worked for over 40 years, he served his county in the Korean War and now he sits wondering if he will receive his Social Security check. Fortunately, he does not live from check to check. He can last for a few months, and I hope that is enough, but from what I am looking at I can not help, but have my doubts. I could think of a lot of words to describe how I feel but I think disappointed describes it best.
