I'm Mad At You, America

You voted for these retards.

I'm pretty sure a vote from me was a kiss of death in the last election, though I'm not so sure the lesser-of-two-evils were much better than the other guys anyway. Politicians suck. I don't know what these idiots think they're doing. We're going to bail out the entire country with a bunch of money that doesn't even exist. Brilliant. We'll just borrow that money from the Chinese. Nice.

Originally, the only people we elected at the federal level were our representatives in the House. At that time, one man (sorry ladies...just the way it was) represented approximately 30,000 people. If you're being held responsible by only 30,000 people, those people can keep you in check. Now, one person represents about 700,000 people. It's no wonder, then, that our government doesn't fear the people; with that many people, all you have to do is look slightly less terrible than the other guy running against you.

Of course, now we directly elect our Senators. In Illinois, that means 12.5 million people are electing these turds--except for the ones appointed by our idiot impeached governor. It's game of demographics and interest groups; it has nothing to do with serving the people.

Never mind the fact that the vast majority of government employees are appointed. These people don't report to anyone, because the only ones who could control them (the people that appointed them) are too busy managing their own re-election campaign.

Sure, you have representation in the government--but no one is actually representing you. They're supposed to be your servants, but you've let them become your masters. But I'm getting side-tracked.

The point is, our national budget is approaching the gross domestic product of the entire world. How long do you think it'll be before somebody notices that our government is completely bankrupt? Oh, and, I'm pretty sure there's no such thing as filing for Chapter 11 in international law.

Way to go, America. Your government sucks--and it's all your fault. Alright, somebody tell me how to fix it.
