WHEN THINGS ARE BAD, THEY CAN ALWAYS GET WORSE

Greece has been in terrible financial crisis.  The unemployment rate is relatively astronomical.  However, as we see in our own country, when the government is working as hard as it can to make things better, there are always those who believe they know a better way, can do it faster, and even if they were not voted into office, they should be running the country.  Click here.

We in the USA are facing similar resistance to follow our leaders, apparently by the Republican led House.  Our country is being held hostage with threats that our financial crisis will only get worse if President Obama does not do what these Teapartiers request.  They do not care that they are behaving like terrorists.  The House of Representatives in the late 90s was quick to punish President Clinton for personal behavior which was not a threat in any way to our country.  He was censured as though he was not doing his job properly when , in fact, he was doing his job in exemplary fashion.  This House has not done its job.  They have passed the fewest number of bills of any House in years and years.  There is no tangible censure for them not doing the job for which they were sent to Washington.  They have behaved in what i would see as a treasonous fashion, giving no care to American blue collar people who are struggling to survive, nor to survivors of Hurricane Sandy though they have always had the government respond to disasters in the areas which they represent.  Even though the polls (their report card) shows them as failing, perhaps it is time to give them an annual review of how they have performed on their job.  Why not, everyone else who works get to have one.  It is said that people give them that when election time comes about.  However, it is not voters but insiders of the House of Representatives and other government officials who should fill in the report card.  How many times did they miss a vote call; how many bills did they propose (not the same ones over and over like Rep. Bachmann trying to get rid of 'Obamacare'.; How many times did they vote against a bill because it was the 'other' party even though they were 'for' the issue before.
