Congress needs to reevaluate direction

The recent election in Massachusetts shows that the people of that state are mad about the way the country is headed. What we need is jobs for the unemployed and underemployed, not be any of the things that Congress has been spending their time on this last year. We don't need Cap and Trade. We don't need trillion-dollar deficit spending. We don't need a medical insurance bill that guts Medicare by taking out $500 billion. We don't need amnesty for 20 million illegals. What happened to the transparency that the politicians promised?

Most everything in Washington is done behind closed doors. Congress votes on bills containing thousands of pages without knowing what is on those pages. Is this the way that we want our government run?

In order to stop this unemployment, we need to lower taxes and lower the regulations on business that are making it hard for them to operate. No recession has ever been solved by raising taxes and the cost of living and that is what the present administration has in mind.

This was the greatest country in the world. At the present rate of decline we will soon be a has been.
