What can we honestly expect from this 'New' congress?

In all honesty we can expect a lot of noise about changes being made. Partisan politics will be discussed as something needing to be overcome and some minor issues might be settled in the ‘New Atmosphere’ of cooperation. Then it will be back to business as usual.Folks it’s still Congress. We elected politicians. They won’t curb lobbyist or the money they spread around. How many times have we heard that they, Congress, were going to put their houses in order and get to the business of our country?

I read somewhere that our country was made great by big business, corporations, not by people and that therefore the business of government is to benefit corporations and that would be the best benefit to the people. This mindset was attributed to Bush and to the majority of Republicans. ‘What’s good for business is good for the country!’ The article was trying to say that this new Democratic majority would bring back government for and by the people. God bless and protect us Democrats.

I’m sorry I see no financially strapped Democrats holding office. Big business butters both sides of the bread.

This election changed the majority in both houses from one ideologically bankrupt party to another. I heard nothing new from the Democrats that were elected. Only how wrong and bad their opponent was. Why was that? Cause they’ve got no clue either. Getting us out of Iraq will be a very good thing. Will it fix our immigration problems? Our trade deficits? Our health care issues? Until we get Big Business (bought votes) out of our government we are going to have the very same results from our Congress no matter which party is in the majority.

Are we watching our Bill of Rights being whittled away? All in the name of National Security. It’s just going to make the removal of Big B harder. Take at look at who signed the Patriot Act.

The American public has ADHD and Big B has learned to keep them distracted by throwing shiny objects in the direction they want the populace to go.

Of course there really are threats to our security out there but reducing a country to rubble and civil war hasn’t improved that situation at all. It has made a bundle for companies like Halliburton though and that’s just the Big B we see. Are our ports safe? You know the ones Bubba was going to let ‘Abdul’ guard. Will this Congress make any of the profiteers in Iraq pay back the embezzled funds?

Our political process is broke! And we ask those that are benefiting from it being broke to fix it. Ain’t gonna happen.

Big Business no longer wears a flag. It’s not the Rockefellers anymore. They’re international. They’ve already taken the jobs overseas while we watched. We no longer manufacture what we need. Dependant on oil? Hell we’re dependant on everything! They’ve even out sourced bill collecting to India!!

What can we honestly expect from this ‘New Congress’?
