yikes

So I am not halfway done reading the list of the Congress Matters and my brain is kinda mushy. How on earth are all those people handling alllllllllllllllll those issues on ONE day?! I can barley eat three meals, go to class, go to work, pay bills, and maintain personal relationships through the course of a day. And those are just my personal issues. I went from reading about gun control, to credit cards, to "reviewing the status of military education twenty years after the Goldwater-Nichols Act and the Skelton Panel" Um. what?! Seriously? This is mind-boggling. 

How is our central government supposed to handle *efficiently* all 43 of these IMMENSELY broad issues? Its impossible obviously since, lets face it, did they really get all that shit done? When was the lunch break? 

I don't even know what to say. It is seriously upsetting as a citizen, literally paying for them to be there RIGHT NOW. And what are they doing, arguing for me? Ya right. If I wanted congress to do something for me today, I might as well jump off a bridge. 

Now I have to check myself here. I have the right to sit here and bitch about the "shity" job they are doing on my Mac laptop at my nice little school in the Burbs of IL. I have to consider them: how many of them really want to be sitting there "debating" ALL those issues all day. They have lives and families and blahblahblah. 

But back to reality, I AM PAYING THEM. And what did they do for me yesterday? NOTHIN. Did the CA Supreme Court rule in favor equality? NO! Am I *technically* considered an equal to males in this nation? NO! They just sit there and talk about "appropriations" and "foreign relations" and what it really boils down to is, "We need money so where can we take it from?" 

Ya, ya. America is the land of the free and if I wanted to write a Bill asking my government to make me equal I could, but where it would it go? Beneath homeland security and the whales! I'm sorry, I love the whales and I do not want to see America get "attacked" again, but how the hell is this system so whack that they can't take what, "We the People" REALLY want and need for our "pursuit of happiness" and really actually DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.

Because its all political bullshit and as much as the House is for "the people" its for rich white men who are afraid of change and only want what is going to benefit them. 

So is the issue not what the flaw is in the Congress Matters but the Congress its self? I should think so. But to change something like that is impossible. Cause no matter what, whoever gets to sit in House of the Senate, they are allllll going to want the same things(coughmoneycough), regardless of political party or background, because thats how it was in 1776 and thats how its gonna stay. Why?! I have no fucking clue. 

I wish I could wrap my mind around people who desire to jump through all the government hoops and bend over backwards to get some power! 0o0o0o power. what the fuck is that? Who even has the power? The one with the nukes? The one with the most financial backing? 

Now, I have obviously gotten off course, so to wind it down, I remain baffled with our government and how it handles its self on a day to day basis. I hate to say it, but I know NOTHING about what really happens in there. But there in lies the problem. If there is to be change in this nation, shouldn't the people have a hell of a lot more say in what happens here, and not have to go to law school or live in D.C? The answer is yes. If that ever gonna happen? You tell me.
