Why Do We Have A Senate?

Seriously, why do we have Senators?

Can anyone think of anything they have produced, other than Presidential candidates?

The house of representatives at least has entertainment value. The Senate just produces pontifications.

Often called the best job in America these Princes of the Republic are not called to any measure of worth. Locked in 6 year contracts, great pay, benefits, perks, a retirement plan to die for and virtually no accountability.

If Dodd can not be held accountable for his total neglect of his job, what incentive is there for any Senator to even show up? And indeed many do not.

Look at how Presidents age in office, contrast that with Senators. Senators don’t age. Some of them live into their 90’s and still are in office, we are talking really low stress living on Capitol Hill.

This election cycle is unusual given that we can not avoid electing a Senator for President. Historically we don’t like to make Senators President, we usually like to hold them at arm’s length from the ultimate seat of power. We like Governors best.

There is a wisdom of the masses are work here, we the unwashed whether we be Democrats or Republicans have an inherent uneasiness with Senators. There is a under-achieving elitist stench in the Senate, filled with people convinced of their own high self worth.

I have a theory that Sarah Palin’s popularity is in no small part due to the fact she is a Governor. I breathed a sigh of relief that we have at least a 50% chance of electing a team that has at least ONE adult on the ticket. Someone who knows that the trash needs picked up, the roads plowed, and businesses grown. Who knows that government has to work, not just talk about it.

The American people are mad, they see government sanctioned foolishness on Wall Street, an aviation system that is just plain not working, a social security system that is anything but secure and is absolutely GUARANTEED to fail, guaranteed I say!

A border that millions of people just walk over. We can’t even control our own borders. Congressman Hayworth estimated that approximatley 4,500 illegals cost the border every day in just the state of Arizona alone! Billions of dollars in Homeland Security, countless x-rays of my shoes and my briefcase, cross-eyed looks at my toothpaste and millions just walk in to the USA whenever they want. Is this insane or what?

Budget deficits that keep getting higher and higher, politicians running for office on platforms of greater taxation! Yes, dear reader Obama / Biden will raise your taxes, maybe not your income tax but you will end up with a higher costing government and you will pay for it.

I have cut my budget way back, just once I’d like to see some pain and some “do without” at the state Government and Federal Government levels. Just once I’d like to see some government employees subjected to some real world business like treatment, like maybe a plant closing or their entire function outsourced to Mexico. Cruel on my part, yeah it is. But till the Governing in this country feel some real world pressures and feel what the governed are facing it’ll just be more of the same.

An endless stream of entitlement programs that just grow and grow, never sunsetting.

A government sector that now rivals the private sector in size! This is our greatest threat to freedom. Jefferson would slap us silly.

An absolutely treasonous lack of action on a sane national energy policy that is 30 years over due!

Ethanol is treason. A raw naked exercise in political power, nothing more.

This ain’t working.
