Maybe we the people should adopt the bail out mentality and terminology to request funding of those things that matter. How many billions would it take to bail out social security? Medicare? Prescription drugs? Energy independence?

We the people are last in the political scheme of anything...and that IS NOT going to change until we the people demand it...yeah right!

Over 90% of all Congressional incumbents - especially those with over 15-20-30-40 years seniority - were re-elected in November. Yet, we get upset when our representatives continue to do dumb things.

We, the People really are We, the Fools if we don't flush out at least 2/3rds of the House and the same percentage of Senators who appear on the 2010 ballot.
