Every politician in Washington, on both sides of the aisle, should be completely ashamed of themselves after the action they took today. They won't be, of course. But they showed they really don't care about people, families, or kids. So what did they do to arouse my anger? Well, actually, they took steps to resolve a problem. But in doing this, they showed how little they care about everyday people.
After less than a week of delays at airports, the Senate and the House passed a bill to stop the furloughs brought on by the sequestration. The business people spoke, and in no time a bill was passed to relieve their pain. But what about the cuts to programs like Head Start and Meals-On-Wheels? What about the cuts that will take teachers out of the classrooms and takes cops and fire fighters off the street? Nothing could be done to restore those cuts? Of course not, since there's no big money from any of those groups lining the pockets of politicians.
Washington showed their disdain for regular people today, and I for one plan on returning the favor back at those who are cutting vital services. Will you?
