A Brief List of wasted money and time by Congress (week of March 2)

H.R. 548

H.R. 146

H.R. 1105

More to come later, too tired of sifting through the useless resolutions the House passes every 5 seconds.

On the top two, you can get two birds with one stone. These bills work to preserve historic revolution and civil war battlefields. Instead of putting government money toward it, the government should move to sell the land to caretakers, allow caretakers to hire workers to stimulate the economy.

Mainly, I'm stopping short with only three bills because I'm watching Larry King Live, and this snide democratic woman is on. She's shooting down a historian who has numbers to prove that the New Deal didn't stimulate the economy as much as everyone anticipated.
Why is she attacking him?
Not because he may be right (that's the secret truth), but because he's a Republican.

I'm tired of this "we've tried it your way" mentality, as if conservatives use group-think (like liberals). Sure, some do, and that's why the neoconservatives hit this rut when they took control of the Republican Party.
Doing as you're told instead of what's right never leads to a strong political force. This past election only reinforces that.

If only the Republicans could see why they lost their way.

It's not only because they gave into group-think, it's because they failed to see it. More importantly, those who pointed it out before McCain's predicted loss are now being ignored. That's dangerous.

But anyway, that historian had some great points. I feel like the Republicans are starting to get where they need to go, by cutting spending and cutting unnecessary programs, as opposed to job creation within the government. I feel like a bigger government is less reliable. When something bad happens in a big government, like major inflation, everyone feels it. It's not remedied by adding artificial value to currency either. This is the vicious cycle we'll see for atleast the next 2 years. Longer if Republicans don't get it together in time.

More wasted money next week, next time I'll shut the TV off so I can focus, and not get distracted by stupidity.
