House Select Committee

I noticed that we now are paying for a House Select Committee on Benghazi.  We invaded a country, killed thousands of their citizens, got 5000 of our own killed and countless of our own wounded and now cannot even take care of them and we need to investigate what happened at Benghazi.  The chain of command screwed up.  That is what happened.  However,. the invasion of another country without just cause, the destruction of their infrastructure, the looting of their country's arifacts, the destruction of their government on a pack of lies is of no concern to our congress.  Our country is in the toilet and I think we need to flush all the politicians down but it would destroy our plumbing and I sure don't want to pollute the oceans with them.  I can't think a single reason they exist.  The middle class is dead, college grads cannot find a job and are up to their armpits in student loans, our medical complex is screwing the citizens right and left and congress's only concern is what facts they may be able to twist to make the Dems look bad and maybe give cover for the losers calling themselves Republicans.  I'm fed up with the whole mess.  Frankly, it seems to me that it will be good for the country when global warming puts DC underwater.  The politicians won't be missed.  And now congress is jumping on the President because of the mess the VA is in.  Hello!  Congress has the oversight authority, not the President.  Congress has allowed the VA to remain in a mess and indeed helped make the mess by allowing Reagan to gut it.  Congress has always turned their heads the other way on the VA, IRS, BLM and most of the other agencies until there was a chance to make brownie points, then they jump on the bandwagon.  It is way past time we outlawed lobbying and put them on a merit based pay scale.  No benefits.  Just merit based pay.  They need to be down in the trenches with what used to be the middle class.
