You may agree with some or none or all. But, we all know our elected officials do NOT act "for the people" -
What really set me on fire today, was I read where the already-puny budget for the mentally disabled kids was getting cut by 25%. I have a daughter with autism and she's on a WAIT LIST for a simple day program to attend to keep her busy and sociable. So, with Congressional pork, earmarks, corporate bailouts, aid to nations who we have to pay to "like" us; what about our own kids? What about our pitiful education here?
