I’ve disagreed with Congressman Simpson on a lot of issues and agreeded with him on a few. Here’s anothing one I agree with him on:
“In spite of the fact that September 30 comes at the same time each year, Congress continually fails to fulfill its constitutional responsibility to fund government operations through the regular process,” said Simpson. “When we fail to pass annual appropriations bills, we fail to look critically at how agencies spend taxpayer dollars and lose opportunities to make government work better. It is time that we take the long-term CR off the table as a viable alternative to meeting our constitutional obligation.” [Taken from the “Congressman Simpson E-Newsletter Week of September 17, 2012”]
Yes, let’s fire the assholes who refuse to do thier jobs and elect people who will.

Simpson is all talk. How long has he been in congress and hasn’t even attempted to change this. Come election time they all throw out these grand ideas, then forget about them after they get re-elected. Theres always something that comes up thats more important. Jobs, no thats not it. Tax reform, nope. Election finance reform, try again. Abortion, women’s reproductive health. Now thats important.
