OK, I just get to the office...enough ActiveRain for a while....

Open up my email, take care of some business and then just as I am ready to move on with my day I get an email from a local client/friend.  So, of course I take a look.

Now my friend definitely has red, white and blue blood - no doubt about it.  He is a retired Border Patrol Agent (pre ICE).  My friend has no problem letting the world know what he thinks or keeping us informed of events that have an impact on our country.

Here is a photo taken in the California State Legislature chambers last week while they are supposed to be figuring out our State Budget, which is currently on an extension since October 1st.

Here is the caption that accompanied the below picture:

We pay the salaries of these California "legislators?"
 
Nothing else need to be said.  This is one of their THREE DAY WORK WEEKS that we all pay for.  I am ready to start from the beginning by voting out all elected officials and not letting any of them stay in office for more than two terms.  No more lifelong health-care, retirement, voting in their own pay raises, taking perks on our taxes, etc.

House Minority Leader  Lawrence F. Cafero Jr., R-Norwalk, pictured standing, far  right, speaks while colleagues Rep. Barbara Lambert,  D-Milford and Rep. Jack F. Hennessy, D-Bridgeport, play solitaire Monday night as the House convened to vote on a  new budget. (AP)

The guy sitting in the row in front of these two...  he's on Facebook, and the guy behind Hennessy is checking out the baseball scores.

These are the folks that can't get the budget out by Oct. 1,  Seriously!!!

So, we've got a 30 day budget extension. Well, guess what, 30 days from now we will be in the same boat.  And these yo-yo's will still be playing SOLITAIRE!!!

If you agree this is an atrocity and not what we are paying our politicians for, then please lets take this and turn-it into a mainstream item - please reblog this post and let everyone you know about it...everyone!
