Representatives Become Rulers

How can they justify the hypocrisy of their behavior while expecting higher standards from others? Why would they rather lie about their actions than take responsibility? How do they justify the theft of our Treasury for their own benefit? Why do we put up with behavior from our politicians that we wouldn't accept for our own children?

From the point of view he likes to call the "Blue Collar Perspective" Randy takes us through numerous examples of hypocritical behavior, use of Treasury money as their personal political capital, demonstrates the out of control sense of personal entitlement prevalent in Washington as well as looking at specific serial offenders of the public trust, treasures and assets. How one member of Congress has managed to steal some $400,000 of our money through a special earmark for his personal church. Representatives who stand before the cameras and without the blink of an eye lie to us about their actions. A look at the rampant Pork barrel spending in the Stimulus Bill. A look at what both Houses of Congress define as quality leadership. The fight against transparency from the White House on down. Hidden agenda's fulfilled behind closed doors. An example of how the value of betrayal has risen form 30 Pieces of Silver to over $1.5 Billion in today's economy. How we have gotten to the point where it has become unacceptable to pass a bill without including such things as the Cornhusker kickback, Lousianna Purchase and Florida's Medicare Part D exemption from Medicare Reform. 

Today's robber barons aren't the oil magnates, railroad owners and steel manufacture's. They are instead those very people we have elected to represent our needs in the exercise of the power of the vote granted to us in the Constitution.
