With transparency today, it’s not hard to track back and see how politicians change with the direction of the wind. We really need some folks in office who can have some intelligent conversations and drop some of the rhetoric that has occurred with reform. I have never seen such a big side show in my life and when you stop and think and observe the “distraction” levels we see today, it leaves the country wide open for those who may not have our best interests at heart. In other words the capitalize on the fact that everyone is so distracted and can’t agree to start looking at our vulnerabilities. This is about all I have seen for the last series of months, a Congress that is so out of touch. Look at how long this project is slated to take, talk about dragging one’s feet.
