Recommended: Republicans And Democrats Dicker While The Deficit Yawns And Rome Burns

There is a very good piece on the Forbes website: Republicans And Democrats Dicker While The Deficit Yawns And Rome Burns. I agree completely with the author's claim that both Republicans and Democrats are lying through their teeth, and both are playing petty political power games (and many getting rich while they do it) while the nation goes ever deeper into debt and economic woes.

And I agree with his prescription - fire them all and put term limits on their replacements, and give them defined-benefits pensions like the rest of us, rather than lifetime sinecures.
