Editor, Daily News:
Imagine that you have just interviewed and hired an employee thinking that he was just right for the job. He had convinced you that he would do the best job for you; but as soon as he settled into his position, he acted like you had no right to expect him to do what you wanted him to do. Frustrating?
But the description above is that of both houses of Congress. The members have been there so long that they have acquired more money and power than most of us "just" citizens could ever hope for. Some of this would have been acquired through dubious ways (graft, bribes, you scratch my back, etc.).
We still have the representatives with the cold cash legislating for us. You can't get them out. Can you believe that?
As Americans, we need an attitudinal adjustment in Washington (senators, representatives, judges, executives). Our employees need to wake up to the fact that we "just" citizens pay their salaries and can remove them from their plush jobs. They all need to know that a regime change is just an election away.
Can 2006 or 2008 bring us a resolution to the problems of immigration, national debt levels, crime level and Iraq?
I hope so! Don't you?
