Trying to defend our politicians by pointing out how much division there is between the two parties is laughable. The topics are the same now as they were during the first 90 days. And none of them seem to be working at this point, just collecting their money and claiming it's somebody else's job. In my line of work, I have a job that is expected to be done in a certain time frame. If it's not done in that time frame, I finish it on my own time. I made a commitment to my employer's. Our legislators should not be collecting a dime at this point. In fact comma if it was money coming out of their pockets I will bet they would reach a consensus a damn sight quicker.
