Reuters: Why you may retire in poverty

12. Unfortunately, Congress will not consider the "big picture." It is PAINFULLY OBVIOUS we cannot...

...depend on our government to do the right things. Congress serves a master that is NOT the American voter. We are just minions and malcontents. Our children are raw materials for the war machine. Our country's resources are being privatized at an alarming rate. The geographic core of our country and continent is becoming a dust-bin desert right before our eyes, and still our Congress refuses to act. The American Middle Class that made this country great and fueled it's growth is being dismantled to line the pockets of the rich. The 1% and their vampire-like entities feed upon us, and our government not only refuses to act in our benefit, but aids and abets the monsters doing us harm.

Congress get the "big picture"? Please, don't hold your breath. Congress already considers the big picture, and unfortunately, we are not part of it.
