THE KINGDOM OF DC ...

Like most Americans I am weary and angry with our federal government bureaucrats, Congress, and the President. Obama is running the country like a campaign going from place to place generating class warfare and blaming his failures on rich people, Bush, the weather,  and anything republican or tea party.

The current crisis de'jour is the miserable failure of Obamacare. Earlier it was sequestration, foreign policy flubs everywhere, IRS violations, and a continuing crappy economy. Amazingly, It was Obama, the socialist leader leading us into all these national and international misadventures.  Obama and the Congress are telling us the sky is falling, and the only fix is to pony up more tax revenues.  Rather than compromise, work creatively, and slash wasteful federal budgets,  Obama and his DC minions are jetting all over the country wasting jet fuel and spewing a lot of hot air. Their sermon is always a sermon that the only solution is unlimited spending which means taking more from the productive citizens and corporations of the nation.

In my opinion , to cut the budget look at the Kingdom of DC. There are nearly two dozen police agencies patrolling the tiny District of Columbia ! This silly duplication is the tip of the waste and fraud alive in DC. The great granite and stone buildings in Washington are full of overpaid bureaucrats providing no service or product to the nation.  Mostly, these government big wigs spin webs of new laws and regulations to interfere with the rights of every American. To justify their existence and expansion, they poke into every aspect of our lives and seek total control. The Departments of Education, Energy, Labor, Commerce, etc. do little to improve the nations education, energy, labor, or commerce. Our federal government is bloated, and it's time to return most of their useful activities to the states.

If republicans and democrats really want to improve the economy, lets start in the Kingdom of DC. Shut down many of the stupid ABC federal agencies. Require members in the Judicial, Legislative, and Executive branches work regular hours, and not be granted weeks of vacation and holidays. Tie their compensation to their achievements in balancing the national budget, cutting expenses, and following the Constitution.

It's time the culture of privilege, wasteful spending, and an offensive air of royalty be voted or kicked out of Washington DC.
