Mistrust continues to vex fiscal cliff talks:

Is this an understatement or what? The “donkies and the elephants” have been bumping heads for many years and there doesn’t seem to be any resolutions in sight.

It is all about the parties and not about the citizens.

It is long overdue that they do what is best for the country instead of what is good for their party.

It is business as usual in DC. Elections have not changed anything. Just a different lie on a different day. Like everything else they do or don’t do; the DC suits wait until there is a catastrophic event before they act on it, if they do act at all.

Webster’s definition of politics:

(used with a sing. or pl. verb) Intrigue or maneuvering within a political unit or group in order to gain control or power: Partisan politics is often an obstruction to good government. Office politics are often debilitating and counterproductive.

Webster was a pretty sharp guy; I could not have said it any better!!
