Playing poker with human lives is….inhuman

I’m not going to sit here and pretend I know what’s happening in Congress and the intricacies of the issues involved.  But I can’t help thinking about something someone once told me,  “Politics is like playing poker and the last one to show their hand is the strongest”. Apparently, with all we’ve seen in the last couple of weeks, that is true.

Well, that seems to be a pretty selfish game that our elected officials have been playing. I blame every single one of them.  Sometimes, I wonder why we even bother to have a government, if the people we vote for can’t lead?
