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?
Are you as frustrated as I am? Isn’t time we worked together as human beings for common good for America and not for our personal differences or party line.

We continue to allow the same people to do it. We continue to vote them into office. When are we going to learn? This is a game played with people, other people, not thier people. If it affected thier families or themselves, I bet that they would not be so eager to play poker with it. They are not going to get affected by any of it, they are set with benefits for life, it is the other people who will have to suffer. Keep voting them in and we will not get away from it ever. They should be required to pay the government half of al the spend trying to get into office. Party lines are like kids taking sides they do not know why, but they know they must.
