Really? Voting no to extend benefits to Americans who have lost their jobs due to outsourcing, the death of industries and industrial negligence, the decline and closure of small business, just a bad economy in general. SHAME on any of the senators who voted no and who did not vote at all.

Not opening your eyes to the cost cutting that led to unsafe practices that led to the worst oil spill in American history. A spill that is decimating the Gulf of Mexico.

Honestly I can’t even begin to know who is worse right now. In our system of government if we don’t get along and work together then we cannot succeed. We don’t have the option of allowing our President to become a dictator to force people in line. No one wants anything like that. So our ONLY option is to give a little on both sides and get the work done.

This left wing / right wing bickering is accomplishing nothing at all. And was not the intention of our founding fathers.

I ponder on the words said by two of our founding fathers, a few of which I share here:

“We must all hang together, or, assuredly, we shall all hang separately.” Benjamin Franklin at the signing of the Declaration of Independence, July 4, 1776

“A wise and frugal government, which shall restrain men from injuring one another, which shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned. This is the sum of good government, and this is necessary to close the circle of our felicity.” Thomas Jefferson, First Inaugural Address.
