Occupy Congress First

It's time for a clean sweep of those do-nothing other than fatten-their -wallets who represent money wielding constituents that have a temporary tresidence in D.C. Americans are in dire need of work. Jobs are being lost faster than the Hermanator can say pepperoni pizza. If they are not part of the 1% when elected they surely become part of that elite group at the end of their terms.

I'm no expert on the economy but it doesn't take an expert to see that the complexity of the problem is simplified once there are jobs created and people are back to work.

There's a report at yolahub.com that points out 35 different items that should make any American angry. Here are a couple;
The Economic Policy Institute says that since 2001 America has lost approximately 2.8 million jobs due to our trade deficit with China alone.

All over the United States, road and bridge projects are being outsourced to Chinese firms. Just check out the following excerpt from a recent ABC News article….
In New York there is a $400 million renovation project on the Alexander Hamilton Bridge.
In California, there is a $7.2 billion project to rebuild the Bay Bridge connecting San Francisco and Oakland.
In Alaska, there is a proposal for a $190 million bridge project.
These projects sound like steps in the right direction, but much of the work is going to Chinese government-owned firms.
“When we subsidize jobs in China, we’re not creating any wealth in the United States,” said Scott Paul, executive director for the Alliance for American Manufacturing.
It is time that we demand changes to the many policies that Congress has passed to isolate them from following the same rules and regulations that govern the rest of the country. They are there to serve us and not vice versa. It's also time that we have a third party to compete with the Democrats and Republicans who are equally in this for themselves.
