Nope. I just wish the American people would stop falling for the same baloney campaign promises, time, after time, after time.
Every time I hear so and so cannot lose, they have the most money, I have to wonder if anyone actually looks at records or LISTENS to what these people are saying.
No way I want to trade, I just want the congress to be comprised of the people it is supposed to be comprised of. We need term limits. It is the congressional dynasties (Ted Kennedy, for example) that have gotten us here, and they were never meant to be. For exactly these reasons.

We do not need more government. We need a government which enforces laws already in place.

Banking laws need to be enforced.
Securities laws need to be enforced
Mine safety laws need to be enforced.
Offshore oil drilling regs need to be enforced.
Immigration laws that are on the books need to be enforced.
Trade laws need to be enforced.
Employment laws need to be enforced.
Environmental laws need to be enforced.
Budgets need to be realistic.

Just today, we hear that car companies want to be exempted from regulatory oversight.

The list goes on and on.

The problem of weak enforcement of laws has been around for a very long time.
