Let's get our priorities straight, Washington

Just a Sunday morning rant. Benghazi? Ethics? Fiscal policy? Defense? Gun control? Obamacare? The Government's Budget?

Ok, has Congress yet figured out the priorities yet? Reading the news all over the web this morning, it just looks like Congress has no idea really what it is doing. It keeps flip flopping back and forth with no real priorities. What does that mean?

It really means a lack of leadership on their part. We the people are screaming for change in the right direction, yet those rants and raves are falling on deaf ears. Yet if you do listen to some of the conservative radio talk shows they are saying the paradigm is shifting. I sure hope that is true, but when you look at the media all over the net, TV, etc., you don't see any real 'consistency' of priorities.

What do I mean by a consistency of priorities? Well, let's see. The questions I asked above. You see the priorities? I don't. All I see is a bunch of political hogwash, jumping back and forth and no real direction. Again, what does this mean? Leadership.

Yes, America. We need leadership. I'm not just talking about the President. We need Congress to lead. After all, the founders put most of the decision making within the Legistlative branch of the government, but the other checks and balances are there to help guide them. That means all three branches working together. I don't see any of that.

Do you? Things to ponder...

Is the government for real?

Gun control that is going nowhere. Medical costs that are going through the roof because of the 'Obamacare' bill. Defense spending getting cut because we are 'robbing Peter to pay Paul.' These are just a few things that is on Congress' plate right now.

What's funny is no one is talking seriously about the budget! I mean seriously? I'm not allowed to go into a month without a budget and Congress is allowed to ignore the budget for over 4 years? I want that kind of freedom. Oh wait, I can't have it because the Government wants to 'take care of me?'

Um, really? I think Congress needs a reality check. Although, we the people are the ones that put them in there. So maybe we need a reality check?

Just sayin'....
