The Democrats have been in power in Congress since 2007. Nancy Pelosi along with others have ignored the facts and made history up as they wish. But reality is that the Democrats have controlled Congress since 2007. (fact 1) Reality is that Congress became a giant Romper Room sandbox fighting ring and has continued with the "secret meetings" and the "back-room deals" lead by you-know-who himself. Their points are really not the base of the issue but smoke screens to cover up and divert attention to what this Administration is really doing. Because the Dems have been in power, the Republicans have been forced into a push-back attitude to stop runaway spending. For those of you new to how our government works, repeatedly, when the Democrats have been in power, they raise taxes and runaway spending prevails. (seek the facts not opinions) I do not see Congress as one monolithic body at all, but a body made up of individuals. Never before has the country been so divided politically, racially, and philosophically---the end result is ECONOMIC FAILURE. We have already been downgraded on the world market from a AAA rating to a AA and it was done under this administration. Did I write that large enough? Congress is chaos. Chaos leads to destruction in every civilization. We have been set back prior to the Civil Rights Movement because of divisive personalities appointed by this czar, pitting one American against another American. This is wrong and this is the issue that should infuriate every American. I have never seen such disrespect among the young people of today and it's getting worse. All taught by their parents hateful attitudes in their homes. Parents: stop it. Your words have lead this nation in the wrong direction. Teach love, respect, and tolerance in your homes, no exceptions. Every utterance counts. The problem is not "somewhere out there". It's in your words. Change your words before we become a Third World Country. If you don't know what one is, visit Haiti.
