Today a new House of Representatives was sworn in and it was overwhelmingly Republican. And, if you listened to the rhetoric they spewed as they departed from their various homes they are all going to Washington to put the political process back on track. They are going to put the stops on spending, be more ethical and give the American people exactly what they want.
But, have you ever really listened to what American's want?
Americans want to be paid more for their manufacturing work which has a direct impact on the cost of goods but, they don't want to pay more for the goods they produce.
Americans are outraged at the cost of healthcare in this country and the health services they cannot afford but, they don't want affordable healthcare for everyone.
Americans don't want taxes to be increased but, they want the debt paid down.
Americans bitch and moan about how Third World students are filling our college classrooms and taking our jobs overseas but, they don't want to spend dollars to improve our educational system and resultantly increase the number of kids graduating from high school with a quality education and improving their chances for getting into college.
Americans complain about the state of our environment but, don't want laws implemented that will actually protect the environment.
Americans complain about the cost of fuel but, don't support efforts to create more energy efficient alternative vehicles.
So when the Republicans say they are coming to Washington to give Americans exactly what they want; based on everything these freshman have said I believe they will be true to their word and give Americans exactly what they asked for .... no change... nothing.
