Time to Throw Out the Baby with the Bathwater

With a full half hour before October 1, there is little hope to avert a government shutdown.  And if it does get solved the debt ceiling will be the next self inflicted crisis.

THIS MUST STOP!

The House of Representatives is completely broken.  The extreme right wing seems willing to cause huge financial upheaval to get its way.  The last time the debt ceiling was an issue, there was speculation that the US might default on some of its obligations.  Our credit rating took a hit that cost taxpayers millions. This had NEVER happened before and here it comes again.

The house is blocking almost every bill that might make the President look good.  This is obstructing legitimate government efforts - and just for the sake of right wing politics.

I could go on and on but you get the idea.  But how can it be fixed?

Senators have 6 year terms so onlly 1/3 of them is up for re-election at one time.  The House, however, has 2 year terms and faces re-election  every two years.  So the solution seems simple to me:

Reject every member of the House and elect someone new.  It doesn't matter f they are Democrats or Republicans or Independents, throw the bums OUT! Vote for the non-House candidate.

We need a nice fresh House of Representatives.  It will take commitment and constant effort but we could do this in 2014.  Even if only a majority of the seats are lost it will send a powerful message that our Representatives should represent us and not special interests.
