Liars and Taxes and (Medi)cares, oh my!

Are you constantly amazed by our elected officials in Washington?  It is like watching a bunch of Kindergartners throwing temper tantrums and pointing fingers at each other.  Nobody seems to understand the real issue, and everyone is blaming someone else.  Obviously, the issue is just too complex for our simple politicians.

Here is your chance to make a difference!!  Just print out the letter below and send it off to your Representative or Senator.  Don't worry, it has lots of pictures so they can understand.  (And besides, they all have staffers who are literate and can read the letter to them.)

Go to your room, Mr. President

If you have ever watched children argue, you can tell which side is losing the debate.  First, the losing side shifts the blame - "but it's not my fault".  Then, the whining starts - "I have been doing all this work, and you won't play nice with me."  Finally, it sinks to straight-out personal attacks - "Well, you're a stinky poo-poo head."  About that time, just before it comes to blows, a parent has to step in and send everyone to time-out.  

This week, we got to see that there is not that much difference between the average seven-year-old and our sitting president.
