If the Freedom Caucus takes control of the GOP, Congress will go from nearly paralyzed to fully paralyzed.
Is that the goal? Does the Freedom Caucus just want everyone in Congress to just stop and go home?
Serious question.
.
Tell you what. The original Congress was comprised of people who DIDN"T work full time as congress members. But had other jobs they had to go back to.
As a result the major issues at that time were defense of the country.
The major problem with people today is they think EVERYTHING HAS TO BE GRANDIOSE! BE BIGGER then before.
IKE did one major contribution to America and that was for defense, i.e. the Interstate System. Greatest legacy as President.
IKE knew like many of us that if you can't do the small tasks well, you will certainly fail in the larger tasks.
IKE did a simple task. Build roads.
Today the full-time congress member has to go back to raise funds to get re-elected to his job. We just don't have a need for a full time congress member.
What is wrong with YOU taking more responsibility for YOUR life and not looking to the government for your womb to tomb care?
Billions of people before us were more self-sufficient and able to live productive lives.
YOU are the benefit of these productive self sufficient people that DIDN"T look to the government for their successes. Their successes translate into our betterment.
NOT the government.
That is what the vast majority of people like me and the Freedom caucus want. Congress and the President to be LESS intrusive in our daily lives and MORE responsible
for national threats. Today's news headline:
Obama will be the only person sticking to Iran deal
But as things now stand, Obama may end up being the only person in the world to sign his much-wonted deal, in effect making a treaty with himself.
The Iranians have signed nothing and have no plans for doing so. The so-called Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) has not even been discussed at the Islamic Republic’s Council of Ministers. Nor has the Tehran government bothered to even provide an official Persian translation of the 159-page text.
The Islamic Majlis, the ersatz parliament, is examining an unofficial text and is due to express its views at an unspecified date in a document “running into more than 1,000 pages,” according to Mohsen Zakani, who heads the “examining committee.”
“The changes we seek would require substantial rewriting of the text,” he adds enigmatically.
Nor have Britain, China, Germany, France and Russia, who were involved in the so-called P5+1 talks that produced the JCPOA, deemed it necessary to provide the Obama “deal” with any legal basis of their own.
Obama’s partners have simply decided that the deal he is promoting is really about lifting sanctions against Iran and nothing else.
So they have started doing just that without bothering about JCPOA’s other provisions.
Britain has lifted the ban on 22 Iranian banks and companies blacklisted because of alleged involvement in deals linked to the nuclear issue.
Obama will be the only person sticking to Iran deal
See what I mean? Even in securing our Nation this president is NOT doing that simple task!
