Why Tax Payers Should Be Furious

With the shenanigans going on in our nation's capitol, tax payers should be furious!

Why? Try this on for size. 

First, to those who've been following this whole "Trump's a Crook" obsession in the Democrat controlled House of Representatives, you know that it's purely for political reasons, as well as the fact that he's an outsider and is not owned by any special interests as well as the fact that he's making them look bad with the improved economy, unemployment, etc., and, so far several of their attempts at framing him have proved to be nothing more than a hoax; no evidence proving a crime was committed.

Second, Rep. Adam "Shifty" Schiff (D), CA, is conducting inquiry hearings as chair of the Intel. Committee WITHOUT the House of Representatives having taken the constitutionally required vote of all representatives in the House on the House floor. Not only are they holding secret hearings and excluding any of the conservative representatives, such as Rep. Matt Gates (R), FL, who's on the Judiciary Committee from sitting in to hear testimony by those subpoenaed, which makes all their proceedings ILLEGAL, and nothing more than a political stunt to satisfy their obsession with pulling off a "palace coup", the chairman of the committee is making false claims as to what actually transpired and deliberately steering witnesses into a corner; attempting to get them to say what's not true.

To be clear, IF Speaker Pelosi allowed a vote on the House floor on holding legal inquiry hearings, two things would happen which would totally embarrass her and the Democrats. The first situation would be that there would not be enough votes to pass the measure; thus endangering those Democrats who won in Trump districts in 2018. The second would be that, if there were sufficient votes for impeachment, they actually could prove that Trump committed a crime that qualifies as impeachable, then once it got to the Senate it would either be killed before any proceedings took place, or, there wouldn't be the 67 votes - that's right, it takes more than a simple majority to convict a sitting president for removal from office.

So, what is their responsibility generally supposed to be? We elected them to represent us to propose bills which will help deal with the various issues facing our country. I'm not even going to go there with stating that their bills will improve things in our country; like infrastructure, immigration, justice, etc. because we know that's nothing more than a pipe dream these days. After all, just consider the fact that none of the current Democrat candidates running for nomination are not even taking about the kinds of policies Bill Clinton, or Barrack Obama campaigned on only a few decades ago.

And to think our tax dollars are paying their salaries to conduct this political circus! Yes, the American taxpayer has every right to be furious and indignant about what is going on.
