Congress has worse issues than steroids

Can someone tell me what's wrong with our elected representatives?

Our country is in a downhill slide. Inflation is setting in. We have immigration problems of great magnitude. Housing values are plummeting. Energy costs are soaring.

Then, I read an article that really got through to me. Instead of doing anything about these serious problems, our senators are wrapped around the axle about a bunch of overpaid athletic oafs taking steroids.

If they think that is more important than addressing the aforementioned problems, it's time to kick the bums out of office.

Come on, Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, spend some time in Washington and take care of the real problems as you were elected to do and quit campaigning.

The same applies to the other senators running for president plus Dick Durbin and the rest of the do-nothings in Washington.

If this country winds up in another depression and pulls the world in with it, it will make global warming look like a Sunday school picnic.
