Political Change

I used to be very political and loved watching the process.  But, I have changed ... I hate it.  I don't know who to trust.  It seems that all politicians are only motivated by getting reelected.  I wish I could find one that was motivated by doing the right thing.  This weekend Treasury Secretary Geitner says that they want to extend the debt ceiling till after the election.  What??? .... what is the reason for that.  We are not stupid.  Why don't the republicans get with the democrats and determine what is the right thing to do, not what is the most politically expedient thing to do.  It is not right that wealthy individuals &/or corporations can take advantage of loopholes that allow them to pay a very low tax rate or nothing at all.  However, it is not right in a climate where we are needing jobs and investment to unnecessaryily burden businesses with excess taxes.  I need parental controls to get off of FoxNews & CNN etc.
