The Real Crisis in America is not the Tea Party

See the Red in this map below? Those people no longer have a voice in the finance of this nations government. The dysfunctional House, Senate and White House have driven us to the cliff, and when we stop just before going over, they stop us and appear to be heroes and the media eats it up. They just put off the cliff for a few months and in doing so Minority Leader, Republican Senator Mitch McConnell was GIVEN a 2 BILLION gift to his home state. Imagine the balls on this traitor, to blame Ted Cruz for standing up for what he believes and then turns around and takes the hand out. I guess we now have confirmation of what is important to Mr. McConnell.

Elections DO have consequences, but it seems the only sacrifice required was from the RED areas of the country. Perhaps it's time to introduce a 3rd color to that map. The people that live in the red on this map, no longer have a voice. I am so unbelievably frustrated and pissed off that we allow this to happen over and over again. Folks this cannot keep going. All they did was delay and put off the inevitable. There has not been a budget passed by congress SINCE PRESIDENT OBAMA TOOK OFFICE. Explain that one.

The night the shutdown ended, Brian Williams on the NBC Nightly News without hesitation blamed the Republicans entirely for the shutdown.  So in his mind, it is wrong for the United States Senators and House REPRESENTATIVES to REPRESENT the people that elected him and stand up for something they believe in.  What he did not mention is the multiple attempts to pass compromise legislation to keep the government running. One thing that Reid and the President refused to even debate was a delay of the healthcare law mandate tax for 1 year. A deal that the President had already given ( against the law ) to his union buddies. And then there was the offer to require that congress and it's staff be included in the new healthcare law. Again Reid and the President refused to even debate this compromise.

                            

                                     

As much as I dislike the deal that was made, I would have accepted it as part of the game. It was just a battle in the long war being fought for the fiscal future of the nation. But when we learn about the McConnell deal and then learn about the other not so "clean" parts of this bill I was so frustrated that things have reached this point in the country.

Hopefully this will be another one of those moments where the coach puts some opponents crazy comment on the bulletin board that inspires the team to victory. Sadly, I am not feeling that. The debt crisis in this nation is beyond repair. I feel entirely helpless and sometime hopeless. But then isn't that how the Progressives want us to feel? They would be very happy if the likes of Ted Cruz, Mike Lee, Rand Paul, and yes even Jeff Chancey would just shut up, sit in the corner and be quiet. They would let their media tell the citizens how the  Democrats saved the country and always know what is best for them.

The elephant in the room that all of Congress is ignoring... is debt. The screenshot below is as of 11:29 am on 10/17/2013. These numbers according to usdebtclock.org is why I feel that this is the true reason to be concerned and afraid. Every citizen, including those born today have their share of the debt OVER $53,000. Every taxpayer owes over $148,000 JUST to payback the debt that CONGRESS has racked up.

I am afraid for this country, my neighbors and especially afraid for me and my family. This cannot continue, much like the stock market was 7 years ago... it's due for a correction. And this one I suspect, will be ugly. What difference can I make? Probably none but at least I am standing up to be counted. Too bad I am being put in my corner and being told to be quiet. But I stand... for the Constitution!
