"HOPE AND CHANGE" A FAILING WORK IN PROGRESS

The idea of a limited or termed legislative body in Washington - made up of those elected to represent the wishes of the people by whom they were elected -  is being well received on conservative radio talk show  programs. Why does the legislature need to meet in Washington several times a month when they are not clearly representing the needs of their constituants? Who represented my vote on the United Health Care Bill? Why did Obama decide to give bailouts to big business? If he had divided the Trillions of dollars given away to big business by the number of LEGAL citizens of the United States each household would have received approcimately $600.000.00. I know I could have paid off all my credit cards, paid off my mortgage, bought a new car AND could have paid for the kids college costs - all while stimulating the economy. I guess this would have made too much sense. How's the "Hope and Change" working out for ya?
