Polls and Purses
Excuse me for bringing up one of the two most important subjects that can be broached, but I just had a novel thought. Wouldn’t it be the same if ‘congress’ (and I use that term with hesitation), were to put the welfare of the republic ahead of their own self-interests? Hey fellas and fellettes in DC–how about functioning according to principle rather than carefully and cowardly first and always consulting the eight ball of polls and purses.
