Another Crisis - Another Deadline

It would seem since the beginning of the Obama administration our congress has taken to what I call crisis legislation. Everything is left to the last minute. It's not like they didn't see this stuff coming and have time to back, but what they do is wait till the last minute.

Now that it's the last minute they declare it's such a crisis that they've got to do something, They offer some bill that is 2000 plus pages that seemingly was written over night and is of course just what is needed to avert the crisis. No one seems to know what's in the bill, and it invariably turns out to be horrible legislation. Of course the congress is careful to write into the bill things that won't touch them.

This is what we are expected to accept. Why has the House of Representatives not presented bill after bill since the budget and spending are their responsibility.

So far the House of Representatives doesn't seem to have done any meaningful legislation in any other areas. It's like they can only work on one thing at a time. didn't they promise they were going to repeal Obama Care, but all they did was present one bill that went nowhere. They've allowed the White House to dictate what they will talk about and deal with, or they've been willing accomplices to it. Either way they're not doing anything about what is going to happen to what gets foisted on us as far as health care.

Now they're playing Russian Roulette with the budget. Of course the democrats NEVER offered any budget during their term in control.

Boehner was ready to deal and do what the democrats wanted him to do, which is just one more sign that the republicans don't really think any different than the democrats do. This has been typical for them all along.

I can't help but wonder what a disaster the final bill they settle on will be. I have little doubt it will be bloated, the size of several bibles stacked on top of each other and will probably leave things as bad as they were or worse.

Our elitist leaders are master of misdirection and the good cop/bad cop routine.

It's a crisis only because our leaders have made it one.
