So what do you do with a dog that won't hunt?

Like the hunter with the dog that won’t hunt, America is stuck with a congress that won’t govern. Voters, including non-voters, have only themselves to blame. Instead of checking out its dame and sire, they have bought a hybrid,  a Repubmocrat, sired by special interests of questionable lineage.
It’s not that congress can’t govern; they simply won’t. This opinion depends upon the point of view from which their performance is seen. The wealthy give high marks to those who have contributed so much to the recent astronomical increase of their personal fortunes. For them, it’s been a sound business venture; a profitable return on their political contributions. The majority of people -- the middle class along with the poor increasing in numbers from the dwindling middle class, -- give low marks to those who have contributed so much to their unemployment, declining quality of life, and declining standard of living.
Yet, these are the very people who continue to feed their dog who won’t hunt. And why should the dog hunt when he’s being kept fat being fed scraps from special interests’ table? The question has been asked: what do we need HMOs for when they can’t provide affordable healthcare? Now the question is: what need have we of a congress that won’t govern? Can we afford to keep paying into the Ponzi scheme they now refer to as the federal budget process?
