Crowd Psychology

What is really going on in our Government? We have two parties consisting of people having different but similar ideas of what is good for the people. For as long as I can remember they have fought among themselves and wasted billions of dollars on Pork Barrel spending.
They throw a few million dollars at the people while squandering billions overseas on senseless wars and other projects that do not benefit America. We deserve better from Congress and the Senate than the little piecemeal that is thrown our way.
It appears they are caught up in a form of Crowd Psychology that will not let them breakout of their way of thinking. What we as a people need to do is limit the terms of office to three or four years. This will bring in new ideas and no one person will have a hold on anyone else.
The Stimulus Package the President is trying to push through at this very moment is full of Pork Barrel spending. The Republicans are not happy because it does not include any of their ideas. I bet if we look closer this would equal their Pork Barrel projects. Why can not our Government just spend the money we need to get back on our feet and forget the Pork barrel spending?
Again I say they are caught in their own way of thinking and cannot see the forest for the trees. Until next time.
