134. You make a good point...

I don't personally believe the President has lost the midterms. But, you make a good point when you talk about how big of a problem this is for some people as opposed to others.

If you're depending on Social Security for your daily life, you don't sit and watch the news as a casual viewer tallying points made by one side versus the other. Politics is an intellectual sport for some. For others, it's life and death. A compromise here and there, but later you're bankrupt because of your insurance, your social security gets cut, or you don't have a job.

If you have a nice job, nice house, nice insurance, and you're healthy...you can sit back and enjoy the modern media show that's more junk food, than informative. When you life truly depends on the next bill they pass or don't pass, it becomes more than a passing freak show. The same is true when they talk about abortion, marriage rights, gun control, and now social security.

Many in this country are too old, sick, or tired of games and make believe. We want people to sit down and get it done. There are those that like the food fight, though. I don't. I would rather our politicians talk to each other and come up with good legislation. No back room deals, do it out in the open, so we can see what they're up to.
