The last, now nearly eight years, has seen Congress and those high-paid folks not do us much good and instead do us much frustration. No different with our state government and it's now dominance by the Republicans.
In a recent Times Free Press the idea of government by cooperation was featured and the number of times one of our elected representatives was truly wishing to work for the enemy, the Democratic Party. Mostly, this lack of bipartisanship is reflected quite badly in our Congressional rep. ie, Chuck, Marsha Blackburn and nearly all the Republicans.
On the mature side of our government is the Senate and they, as a group, reflect an interest in a record of cooperation. I wonder, actually always wondered, just what is the function of 435 very expensive elected officials to the representative form of government?
Chuck, Scott and Marsha cost the taxpayers nearly $4 million plus a year. Those are taxpayer dollars.
