Why Congress Sucks

 Why our legislature sucks or at least why we perceive congress in a bad light. It seems that every piece of legislation that is passed in recent memory is so large and covering so many different issues that no one knows what has been enacted. This allows the elected official of low character to hide legislation that most people would find repugnant. If a politician can't stand up and say what they are for, maybe all they are for is themselves.

Take this latest Covid relief bill not only did they snipe and play politics while people were hurting they also used it for cover for a spending bill so full of pork you would think we were running a surplus. So while all the talk was how much unemployment help or economic stimulus to give was going on they sneak through the spending bill. Even the senators and congressmen didn't know what they were voting for. Let's stop the games, slow down and give these bills a chance at a fair hearing and reasoned debate before we put them to a vote.

Diversity

 

Much has been made about the  diversity of Biden's cabinet picks.  To be perfectly honest most of the people he has named are just names I've never heard before. However when I hear someone say they are keeping diversity in mind or using it  as criteria for hiring it turns me against the hiree . Diversity is just saying qualifications don't matter as much as your gender or color. The whole idea of forced diversity should be repugnant to everyone. Now if a cabinet or any grouping of people is organically diverse that's great but that is not what media is celebrating. Just hire the best person for the job predetermining the job must go to a man or a woman or a black or a white is nonsense and should be ridiculed.
