Yeah it probably wasn't a good idea to leave the henhouse in the hands of the foxes (to use another analogy). It is no surprise that they would divide up the hens amongst themselves.
I contacted my congressman/woman. It also comes as no surprise that they (one of each of the two major parties) are each blaming the other party for the problem. Both of them do agree however that the bonuses are just Wrong! They have different ideas on just how to fix the problem. The gist of the comments back to me was 'I didn't do it, it was their fault', which is not helpful at all. If ever a situation of bi partisanship should be, this would be, I believe. I can see that it is going to be almost impossible to do away with politics as usual. Both parties are resisting with all their might. At least both parties agree that the bonuses were just plain wrong. That is a small beginning.
I try to keep my attitude positive. I want to also keep my blogs positive. This is a difficult thing for a cynic to do. I believe the fact that I received a response from my congressmen to be a positive sign. It is positive also that both parties agree about the wrongness of the situation. Rather than rant about the 'politics as usual' theme I am going to end this post now.
Don't get me started!
