(11,495 posts)It's really pathetic that members of congress have to be "afraid" to do what is best for the country, like not putting all the burden on those who need help, because they fear some right wing lunatic might challenge them in the primaries. Republicans created the teabagger monster, now they are fighting to keep from being eaten alive by that same monster!
Now there are ways to fix the problems, but it should involve taking away "corporate" welfare programs, tax breaks and subsidies for big oil, corporate farm subsides, tax reform, making the rich pay more along with corporations, and not taking from those who really need help.
Republicans just don't seem to give a crap about the average person, only their jobs and the rich, and that's not how our elected officials should be, and any of them who are, republican or democrat, need to be voted out of office, period!
