&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;IMPOTENT DECISIONS&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;Do you have important decisions to make before you leave work today?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;Did you have to finish important work yesterday? Do you have a personal, critical deadline for tomorrow?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;Do what Congress does. Walk away from it. Go on vacation. Make a determined decision not to decide. Most important, take no significant action that could make &lt;i&gt;you&lt;/i&gt; look bad in the coming months.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;Put off your company’s serious business decisions for a month or so and see what happens.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;Yet again, as it has happened too many times in the past to count, 535 people who work for you are taking a pass on making any decisions that affect us, The U.S. Americans. There is no pursuit to extend tax breaks or any action taken on anything else by Congress until after the elections. Most alarming is that Congress deems it perfectly suitable to walk away from creating the budget on which this country runs.&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Note, though, that they did whatever clever thing they needed to do to patch the span for the National Budget until Congress resumes what they call &lt;i&gt;working&lt;/i&gt;. Our National Budget, of course, includes their salaries.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;Doing absolutely nothing comes while a huge number of Congressional Representatives are flouting a blue-covered Pledge To America, claiming themselves to be all new &amp;amp; improved. Fresh and shiny.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;As a Voter, take the following action on November 2&lt;sup&gt;nd&lt;/sup&gt;: &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;Pull, push, poke, or however you must, cast your vote to give every single so-called Representative of our government business their well-earned Pink Slip. If you have to run and hide to avoid doing your duty until it’s safe for your own interest, you do not deserve a job. Especially “working” for hard-working Americans. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;Fire every single member of The House of Representatives and every Senate Congressman or Congresswoman who went on hiatus while we stare at potentially horrific unfinished business affecting our money and our country.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;Vote every wimpy, clouded, self-serving Congress-person OUT of office.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;If there’s an “I” for incumbent along with his or her name, vote for &lt;i&gt;anyone&lt;/i&gt; else. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;The “I” really stands for insubordination. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;It’s enough! We’ve had enough! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;Cast them out like Jesus did the demons of a possessed soul.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;Fire Congress. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;We can find better and more honorable representation pulling a name out of the phone book.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
If ever there was a time in America’s History to abolish Congress,&lt;br /&gt;
it is now.&lt;br /&gt;
Our Representatives and Senators have for a long time been&lt;br /&gt;
dysfunctional, delusional and elitist.&lt;br /&gt;
They are a detriment to this country and are the single largest&lt;br /&gt;
contributor to the looming loss of security within our borders.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Because of Congress, we owe more than 13 TRILLION dollars to&lt;br /&gt;
foreign countries. Congress’ answer to that problem is simple:&lt;br /&gt;
Borrow some extra money and call it economically stimulating.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Already, the only countries that will cash the checks Congress&lt;br /&gt;
is writing on the backs of this nation’s grand-children are China,&lt;br /&gt;
Japan, Britain, a few Caribbean bank nations, and Middle&lt;br /&gt;
Eastern Oil Exporters. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
70% of our National Debt is owed to China. &lt;br /&gt;
That same China which just recently announced its intention&lt;br /&gt;
to be the one and only super-power nation in our brave new world.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Even those whose job it is to protect America see the writing on the paper the Treasury is printing. The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff has clearly stated that the biggest threat to U.S. national security is the nation’s debt. The yearly interest on the money our country owes is equal to our defense budget.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There’s something very scary and mightily wrong when the money we have on hand to protect ourselves from nations who might want to harm us is the same amount of money we owe to some of those same countries. As Admiral Mike Mullen has tried to make our government see, the scenario “is not sustainable.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And who has put us in this perilous position?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Congress and the House of Representatives.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Together, they are a bloated, ineffective cluster. Long ago, they gave up the idea of coming down those Capitol steps to see what was going on in the real world. Worse, in the last decade, they don’t even put on the pretense of caring about those of us who pay their salaries, their perks, their hidden treasures.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;We need to fire Congress and we need to do it now.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It’s not just about the colossal sums of cash they’re throwing away or “earmarked” Stimulus money they cleverly detour for their pet projects and their favorite campaign contributors.&lt;br /&gt;
It’s not even about the millions of dollars we shell out every day to have our representatives stand around in Washington “thinking for us.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What it may soon be about is our national language. &lt;br /&gt;
Even then, it won’t be about our primary language as English or our secondary-speak as Spanish.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is conceivable, on the path we now follow, that every one of us will need to learn Chinese.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;FIRE CONGRESS!&lt;/b&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Get every irrational, clueless incumbent out of Washington NOW. &lt;br /&gt;
Shout it out above the tallest monument: CONGRESS, YOU’RE FIRED!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Or, maybe, more to the point, roar:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;國會，你被開除 !!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3175965318983928409/posts/default/8217747566284320791'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3175965318983928409/posts/default/8217747566284320791'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://congressisfired.blogspot.com/2010/09/fire-congress-before-it-bankrupts-us.html' title='FIRE CONGRESS BEFORE IT BANKRUPTS US ALL!'/><author><name>David Dypsky</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16199277304549073686</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='27' height='32' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoH7Pa2K_GkNkLnB_Jv80Z2ZHELc7gAhnaRHwiyMpLaR1caAz3PeSa4EBWFG0pArP2W5eu76fmrG9LA5xjn1xAb1yaT7kpAF6akOMMgiH_Xh0QT9oNI6JAMRNQmAPs-w/s220/UR_Top_of_Business_Card.jpg'/></author></entry></feed>
