This never-ending gridlock on The Hill is becoming more than annoying to voters. The Republicans just don't get that it's impossible to demand cutbacks in major programs like defense and entitlements like Social Security, Medicare, Healthcare, Education, Defense, etc. without increasing taxes for corporations and the wealthiest 1% of Americans. These are difficult times that demand flexibility from our legislators - not political posturing. No "new" taxes, is not the same as NO TAXES. We need some revenue to fund the programs that are the lifeblood of our country. How can the Republicans be so near-sighted to see the implications of their policy to the poorest of the poor in our country. People are coping with foreclosures that are the result of poor banking and mortgage lending shell games and the taxpaper is left holding the bag. Those people losing their homes will need help -- food and temporary housing. We need a government that governs. If this situation doesn't change, I wouldn't be surprised if there's a turnover in Congress with all incumbents looking for new jobs. I'm sure I'm not the only one who is frustrated with this situation.
