The Descent Into Congress

I can only image that there is a level in Dante's Inferno that is reserved for members of the U.S. Congress. I would further imagine that Lucifer himself is disgusted by them.

How can such a circus ever hope to accomplish anything good for the citizens that elected them to their office? Republicans bullying Democrats like puerile schoolyard punks, Democrats picking on Republicans like a bunch of malicious juvenile thugs. And this is the so-called leadership of our country?

This country, still one of the best in the world, is sinking rapidly. The infrastructure of the country, of states, and individual cities is crumbling. Decay is spreading everywhere, people all over are suffering tremendous losses of available resources, accumulated assets, and family values.

The current administration is nothing more than a collection of impotent jesters prancing about spewing vile rhetoric and inane double-talk while stuffing their coffers full of riches borne upon the back of the dying middle class.

Who will be the one to step up and take this country by the horns and whip it back into its former glory? Is there anyone that can even try to? Is it even possible any more?
