“He might be able to work a
calculus problem better than I can. But he can’t legislate better than I can.” Senator
Reid talking about Ted Cruz. One might
think that after having the government shut down and giving the entire nation a
heart attack about running out of money that Senators have very little to brag
and be high and might about . Now that the crisis has been averted it would
make sense that congress as a whole would try and lay low and actually do their
jobs but it seems the constant bickering and belittling of each other is
getting old. “I hope they’ve learned a lesson. The American
people will not put up with that. And if this happens again, I don’t think it
will, but if it does, I think the House of Representatives will go Democratic,”
Reid said. This is a very telling quote of our current political system right
now, its just that everything is about winning. There is no cooperation and the
only real losers are the American people. There is a difference between
furthering political ambitions and being a pretentious ass. Congress needs to
rise to the occasion and do their jobs. Hopefully in the next couple weeks
things will go back to normal and instead of talking shutdown actual
legislation will be voted on and passed. [i]
