You may think that I am complaining, but I am really laying the ground work for suggesting that.....


MAYBE we should hire the guys who run Wal-Mart to fix the economy because the idiots in Washington sure can't do it!

Good thought and info Raye, but it won't work here (in government). 

A corporation is a bit like a dictatorship in that rules and goals are set from the top - and followed - or else.

It doesn't much matter what comes down from the top of our government; good ideas or not so good.  Between Congress and the Senate, it's a bit like herding cats.  Everyone is off in different directions looking for their own food bowl.

I'll admit I prefer a democracy.  Why can't people get on the same page to do what's right for the country instead of themselves?

Congress and the Senate, it's a bit like herding cats.

Amen to that...
