I Am Mad With Washington!!!

Dec 06 '08 (Updated Oct 06 '09)

The Bottom Line Do not trust anyone in Washington!!!  They are all a bunch of morons!!!

Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house, not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.” Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house, not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.” We all know how that story goes don’t we? It would be so nice if the world could be so predictable where we could change the sorrow that is going on and then we all would be so much better off.


With so many loosing their homes and no one in Washington giving a darn about it, why should we, the taxpayers pay for it? What a bunch of selfish people we have running our country. It is a crying shame seeing so many people becoming homeless. And for what? So those in Washington could get richer? Those on Wall Street too? The love of money is the root of all evil and that love sure has things all shook up! What are these people suppose to do? Who is going to bail them out from the financial stress that has been put on them because of greed? Seems to me that is going to be no one. If you are not rich enough you are not getting any help. If you are not good enough you are not getting any help and once again our Government has lied to us. I hope that they cannot sleet at night. They deserve it. They deserve to all be fired! They care about no one but themselves. Oh they say they care about the little man, but in reality they do not because if they did none of this mess would be happening. No one would be facing foreclosure or bankruptcy. No one would be suffering, as they are if Washington really cared.


The Children, our futures, are going to be left with such a horrible mess and who are we to do such a thing to them? We should all be ashamed of ourselves for allowing this to happen! By putting people into offices that we thought would take care of us and do what was right for us, instead destroying us. How did we allow such a thing to happen? Easy. We allowed it because we were all deceived into thinking that what Washington was doing with the banks was right and we all agreed that it was. People were lied to, mislead and made to believe that they could afford something that they could not! People are now hurting because of those lies and deceit. People are being kicked from their homes because of those lies. Homes they could not afford to start with but were told they could. And all for the mighty dollar going into someone else’s pockets. By the time people found out they had been lied to and deceive it was way to late for them to do anything about it. They could not sue because the businesses were closed down, but before they closed they got rich. Title companies even had closed down. Even if any of those people could have afforded an attorney there was nothing they could legally do. How shameful. And now we, as taxpayers, have to pay for the mistakes of Washington. What else is new?

As we struggle to get through each day, put food on the table, clothes on our backs, and pay the bills, there is nothing being done from Washington to help those who really need it. Nothing!!! Instead they are bickering as usual about who is right and who is wrong and blame being thrown all over the place instead of being man enough and woman enough to stand up and say ‘America, we screwed up and here is what we are going to do to make it better!” Oh no, we are not being told that at all, instead we are being told, continue to struggle. Continue to live your lives in a hardship that is so bad that your country is falling apart along with your homes and your bills and your college educations being saved for and your ability to put food on the table slowly going away and your ability to be a good provider disappearing right before you very eyes. Yes, America continue your suffering because we here in Washington are not loosing our homes, nor are we suffering and struggling to put food on the tables because America, your tax dollars pay our way and we are set for life you see. Yes America continues to suffer while we here in Washington sit here on our rear ends and does nothing for you, which is what we usually do anyway. We do not care that you are angry and we do not care that your hungry and we do not care that you cannot pay your bills because we do not have those problems. We do not care one bit. Oh, but, we sure like to make you think that we do. That way we can get voted back into office and continue to splurge off of America like always. We can continue to deceive you all! Yep, that is what Washington is good for.


We poor middle class folks continue to make the rich richer and the wealthy wealthier and what do we get out of the deal? Continual hardships. Continual misery. Continual disappointments. Continual deceit. And our poor children being left with such a larger debt than any of us could ever imagine. It is a shame. A crying shame! Our babies are going to be so angry with us when they get older and there is nothing that we can do but to wait and hope and pray that Washington gets up off their high horses, gets their heads out of the clouds and get back to earth and do what is right by our children and fix this mess they caused in the first place. They need to save these peoples homes! They need to save this country! The Secretary of the Treasure needs to resign and let someone who cares take over. Someone who will do what is right by his or her country. Someone who can and will stand up for America! That is what I think.


I am mad with Washington for putting us into this situation. For lying to us. For deceiving us. For misleading us. I am mad and it really does not do any good. I have written letters to my state leaders and I got the same response that others get. We hear your cry and we are going to do something about it and help. Yeah, right. Where is that help? When is it going to get here? Is the Calvary going to ride in on horses and save the day? I think not. The only business that these cruel people are in is that of making us all suffer. Taking care of only them.

Why should our tax dollars still be throwing away? I do not have an answer to that. But I do know that there is such hatred across the tables up there in Washington that we are all paying for it. There is such distain, such lack of respect, such lies and deceit that we are all in trouble and no way out.

So my question to America is this? Who is going to fix this mess and when? Who is going to tell the child who is about to be homeless that they are not after all? Who is going to tell that child they can eat today? Who is going to tell that child that their parents are going to be okay, thus making them okay? Who? Certainly not those in Washington DC!

These thoughts are my own and are not intended to offend anyone, only to rant some because I am mad with Washington.
