Well, tomorrow's the big day. America will be fixed, starting tomorrow. I don't know about you, but I am relieved. No longer will we have to worry about bloated government, huge deficits and a long line at the DMV. No, that's all over now.
Republicans got elected, and now they're chomping at the bit. Be proud American: this is your wish.
Now, conservatives will claim that they've earned political capital and will spend it with willful abandon. Unfortunately for them, they don't have the White House or the Senate, so the Republican House will effectively be an obstacle for the rest of the government. And that, probably, is the intended purpose.
But just in case anyone had ideas that the newly-elected members of Congress will be any different from veteran members, think again. McClatchy News has a report detailing a lavish fundraiser for over a dozen GOP freshmen held before they even took their seats. Tickets went for $2,500 a plate. With LeAnn Rimes, lobbyists and surely, pure intentions.
They got their government back, and just to show everyone how serious they were about fixing government, they ...held a fundraiser? At least they're not up for sale, huh?
The people that get Republicans elected are either the smartest people on Earth, or the American voting public is negligently ignorant. Or both.
In either case, it all starts tomorrow. It will definitely be entertaining. And it doesn't change a thing.
In the end, Congress in just a middle management position in the Corporation that controls it.
