Both parties have done this which does not make it right. Democrats are using the "Well they've done this" in the event they don't have the votes. This option erases any personal responsibility from the process which is what we have in this congress. This would explain the 19 percent approval rating. Democrats seem to be backed into a corner and will do ANYTHING to pass this bill to avoid becoming irrelevant. Well guess what...They are worse than irrelevant, they are cowards. Republicans, Democrats, far Left and Right. They are so far from our founders in terms of vision and conviction (well some do have convictions, tax evasion, fraud ect).

What we have now are career politicians who are in election mode 24/7. 90% are recycled year after year because the American Sheeple don't pay attention enough to care. In my opinion the only way to get back to a Democracy of accountability is to enact REAL term limits and cut the pay of our Congress to $50,000 a year. This way it becomes a civic duty and not a job. Elections come out of one equal pot and it becomes a debate of ideas. Our early founders stood up to make America great at great expense to themselves risking life and liberty. What have we become? We get what we deserve and unfortunately it is not we who will pay. Our children and grandchildren are stuck with the debt we've created for a system which can't survive without cash from China and others.
