I just got an email asking me why I don't write more about the health care back and forth in the senate. Quite simply I don't find corruption as worthy of headlines as they are of prosecutions. Being neither a lawyer or a judge I find the scandal of the "Louisiana Purchase" or the "Nebraska Medicare Payment Exemption While Getting Full Medicare Benefits" (sorry, haven't found a good name for this deal yet) to be just another failure of our system. The failures are so numerous I feel everyone knows about them already. If they don't, they probably won't be reading this blog anyway.
Every earmark, every vote getting deal, every campaign fundraiser connection, every tax cheat, every diplomatic screw up, and every marriage betrayal is common news. Our leaders are not just imperfect for the job but unfit for society. I don't think anyone disagrees with this. That is why for some reason we keep sending them to the prison known as Washington D.C. so they can continue to be housed, fed, and isolated from society by our tax dollars.
Guantanimo Bay just selectively tortured prisoners of war. Washington D.C. tortures every single American in every aspect of our lives by irritating our senses; especially our common sense. What the guards of this prison don't seem to understand is we could easily send the corrupt packing at any election.
We all know they are not doing the job they are supposed to. So why do we keep hiring them? Lets send the ones we got to a maximum security for their continued crimes and let some new prisoners enter D.C. for early release on good behavior.
