An Apology

I need to give an apology. One that I am happy to give but is some what over due.

Before the election last month I published a series of blogs asking the people of the USA if they were awake. Wondering why, as a people, we keep electing politicians who are clearly cheating us while collecting a pay check from the American tax payer.

Well evidently the voters of Alaska and Louisiana are awake and are fully aware of what is going on. Evidence Mr. William Jefferson (D-LA) and Mr. Ted Stevens (R-AK).

Mr. Stevens was an joined the US Senate in 1968. In case you are not aware he was recently found guilty of corruption but said he would not resign from the Senate. Well the voters of Alaska did that for Mr. Steven's sending the old man packing. Fortunately he will not be part of the upcoming 111th Congress which meets right before Mr. Obama takes the oath of office.

Mr. Jefferson was elected to the House of Representatives in 1991. Most recently Mr. Jefferson has been the target of some federal investigations where, according to published reports, some $90,000 in cold cash was found in Mr. Jefferson's freezer. Now I realize that a person is innocent until found guilty, but fortunately the people of Louisiana held Mr. Jefferson to a higher standard and also gave him an eviction notice from his seat in the House.

So there are people out there who are listening. The government didn't listen to us and bailed out the big banks. Note that the banks have been bailed out but that has done nothing for the poor American whose home is being foreclosed. The banks got there and the rest of us can go to hell.

Now we have the auto makers and again the American people are saying to let them fail. Instead our elected officials will ignore us and give them money.

Wake up people!!! Or do you just like giving money over to rich fat cats who have driven companies in the ground. Oh...and in this case "fat cats" means both Union and Management!!
