Have you ever been in a boat that you had to bail out? I have. You have to bail it out because it's taking on water. Because it either has a hole in it or the boat has too much weight in it to float.
No matter how much you bail, the boat continues to take on water unless you fix the problem. And eventually the water will fill faster than you can bail and then the boat winds up on the bottom of the pond. But that's ok because it makes good cover for the fish and therefore a good place to throw in your line.
I don't know about you, but I'm pissed that our government continues to give money to failing companies. Our economy is set up in such a way that when one company fails, other companies come in to take advantage of the opportunity in the market, if there is one. By supporting failing companies we are weakening our economy. A better idea would be to cut our taxes. Then WE would spend money at companies that we want- ones that are valuable to us. And the companies that should survive, would survive.
I'm pissed enough that I actually went online and tried to email the Congressmen from Oklahoma. I know, I know... it won't do any good because they don't give a shit what I think. The process of trying to email my representatives pissed me off even more. I found out that these Congressmen have insulated themselves from us even more by not accepting emails. They all have webmail forms to fill out on their websites. I went to each site and filled out every blank, and even then, Tom Cole, Frank Lucas, and Mary Fallin wouldn't let me email them my thoughts. My zip code wasn't right (I'm not in their district), so they don't want to hear from me.
Anyway, in my opinion we have problems. Our government is out of control. You should try to contact them. Here you go:
