New Congress – same old story
May 12th, 2007 . by RobertIs anyone really shocked that the so-called new Congress is still the same old Congress. Speaker Pelosi’s promise of the most honest Congress in history is just more talk, especially after she refused to allow wider camera coverage of the floor. Thieves like William Jefferson and Diane Feinstein still sit on committees, the back room deals continue, and the cost continues to be heaped on the taxpayers. The big business lobby still owns a large share of those who are supposed to represent the individual. Listen to the rhetoric with each new legislative proposal, all we hear is that it will benefit business. Open the borders to benefit business, turn trade over to international bureaucracies – to benefit business, spend billions of tax dollars to benefit business. Until there’s a house cleaning by the voters, no changes will ever take place. A new Republican or a new Democrat spouting big government, more spending, more programs, and more regional and global merger can only take us deeper into the hole. Men like Congressman Ron Paul are the only hope to restore some reason in our government.
