Americans should be fed up with politicians

I can't understand why Americans aren't up in arms over what is happening with U.S. politics. Both sides are playing with our future. Democrats cannot take entitlements off the table and Republicans cannot take tax increases off the table.

That is not a negotiation, that is a hostage crisis! And we are the hostages! Tea Party members are now stuck following the people they voted in and they are doing no better. When will Americans rise up and boot these frauds out of office?

Look at your credit cards and your adjustable mortgages and see what will happen. I think the Great Depression would be a walk in the park compared to this.

Contact your Republican and Democratic leaders and say “No more. Quit playing politics or come and spend a week with me and do my job.” Then let me see you do what you are doing, or should I say not doing!
