Congress – It’s Time for a DIVORCE!
What do you do when your spouse gets you in debt and then threatens to leave you if you make him or her be responsible and help pay the bills?
Republicans in the House of Representatives have admitted that the Government Budget comes from them. They own the checkbook!
The House of Representatives admits to having the sole authority to "originate" the Federal Budget. Consequentially they have admitted to being the source of ALL DEBT this nation now owes. After all, they hold the checkbook and anyone who has ever been married knows what power that entails.
Have you ever had a spouse who kept buying toys for themselves instead of taking care of the family? They would buy stuff that served their own selfish needs rather than benefited the family or even promote family security. They never cared who would pay for it all in the end.
Like Republican Leaders sanctioning wars, buying military toys and giving tax breaks to their friends that we all had to pay for. Then they neglect the needs of America like building roads, supporting education and essential services. Cutting things like food or food assistance to help subsidize wealthy corporations with farm subsidies instead of feeding the poor.
And when you bring your finances up to your spouse he or she threatens to leave you if you don’t drop it. They throw a fit and say they just won’t pay the bills any more.
Then you find out they didn’t pay the mortgage or car payment so they could put a down payment on yet another toy.
You get a notice. Your credit is shot. The house is in foreclosure. You look out the window and see your car being repossessed.
Whatever led your spouse to believe that they didn’t have to pay the bills they legally obligated you both to?
What kind of stuff is the Republican smoking to think that they can get this nation in debt and then EXTORT other branches of government by threatening not to pay the bills they have authorized in the first place?
It’s time for a DIVORCE!
Vote out all Republican control of the House of Representatives out.
Not just this year but every year until we have cleaned up the House of Representatives of all Republican right wing Tea Party influence.
Let’s put the checkbook back in the hands of somebody rational.
