In 1948, the 80th Congress passed 906 bills, President Truman called them the "Do
nothing Congress."
As of the last week of July 2014, Slate magazine says 15 bills have been passed so far
by this Congress. George Bush signed that many IN ONE DAY this time last year.
August is vacation month for Congress. In September, when Congress comes back in session, one has to wonder how many bills will be passed so close to the November
election.
As I write this, help for Veterans may have to wait. The Senate passed a bill, as they
did in Immigration reform. They passed it A YEAR AGO. Republican's in the house
probably will wait and see how the Republican's do in taking control of the Senate
in November.
Everyone felt Truman was finished in 1948, except Truman. He went around
the Country blasting Congress. I wonder what he would think now..
To say this current Congress is going to be rated the worst in history matters little
to many folks in our Country. You would think EVERY Republican should loose in November. Some may, but few doubt Republican's will loose control of the House.
Many feel Democrats will loose control of the Senate this year.
President Truman was white and an "everyman" sort of man folks could relate to.
Truman won the election in 1948. He fired Gen. Douglas MacArthur over Korea
differences. He told the General He didn't care what the General thought of him.
The General, however, WOULD respect the fact that the President of the United States
was his boss. I admire that.
In 2014,our President is black. Many Republican's cant stand that. Some Republican's
feel it's fine to send their representative to Congress simply to say no to every
plan that might help our Country.
We as a nation have lost our civility, courtesy; politeness. Making our Country better,
and loving and caring for our fellow citizens seems to be a one party feeling.
No one has more contempt for Fox than I do. They do, however, have millions of viewers listen to them lie everyday.
We are in a cycle of us against "God fearing American's". Apathy, football, baseball
are on most folks mind.
Look below.
We need to light a fire in this country. We have to speak as one voice to save
this Country from what it has become to what it can be.
