Brinkmanship - WHAT CAN WE DO?

Brinkmanship 2.0

So here we are again.
Back to political brinkmanship on Capitol Hill.
No continuing resolution and no debt ceiling increase.
Millions of Americans are affected.
Congress and the President refuse to take responsibility.

What is different about the current impasse is that unlike the seventeen other Debt Ceiling crisis' the President of the United States, the leader of the free world, the Commander in Chief is unwilling to negotiate.

Unwilling to negotiate?

Yes, both President Obama (37% approval rating) and Senator Harry Reid (7% approval rating) have said repeatedly they will not negotiate.

WHAT?

Isn't that what a leader does? They negotiate and make the deal work for both parties. In most settings in corporate American boardrooms, members of organizations sit down around a conference table, they hash out their differences, find common ground and develop a solution that meets every ones best interest. That happens every day in America.
We pay our law makers on Capitol Hill a pretty good salary to do their jobs. And what do they do? They go on vacation knowing full well the CR and the Debt Ceiling was looming. How dare they! Then they return and blame each other for the crisis.

The Blame game continues!

Regardless of what side of the isle you are on something must be done to solve the impasse on Capitol Hill.

My suggestion to solve the debt ceiling crisis and the budget battle? This fall and for the mid-term elections in 2014 you and me ... all of us - can make a difference. Fire every damn one of them. No matter the party affiliation, no matter the state, no matter their record, let every single one of them know how we feel about their performance - or lack there of.

GET THE SCOUNDRELS OUT!

VOTE AGAINST EVERY INCUMBENT ON CAPITOL HILL IN 2014
