election is right around the corner and I'm mad as hell.  I'm
mad at the politicians who worry more about raising money and
staying in office, that they care about taking care of their
constituents, and I'm mad at the constituents who complain about
big spending by politicians, but like all the stuff their
congressman got for their district.  I'm mad about high taxes,
the Tea Party's mad about that, so are the Republicans, and so
are the Democrats. But it's not enough to say taxes are too high
or that you'll lower them unless you explain how to make up for
that lost revenue.  I'm mad as hell about wasteful spending,
just like everybody else.  So where do we cut?  Do we cut
education? Do we cut medicare? Do we cut the military? How about
social security? Every cut saves money, and every cut hurts
somebody who depends on it.  H
