Sorry for your loss but I said “unstable” not insane.
Someone that commits suicide is certainly unstable for whatever reason.
Again, sorry you lost your husband.

Thank you for your sympathies. You did start of your post with “So sane, law abiding...” which implies that insane people commit suicide. Perhaps you just chose the wrong word.

Perhaps. My intent was to talk about punishing good, law abiding people with burdensome laws that ultimately have no affect on what liberals perceive to be problems but are actually agenda driven and based on emotion and not fact.

The truth is politicians don't want to solve anything. They want to create issues to get voted into office but never solve them. They have been talking about the same issues my whole life. They want to take our money and waste it.

I'm pretty sure there are some good people with laudable ideas and ideals that go into politics. Only to be crusehd under the sheer weight of the bureaucracy. I couldn't imagine running a business where there's a line drawn in the sand every time so that if you say "yes", I say "no". Stalemate (checkmate really).

They also have no relationships to work off of. I read something few years back. Used to be that somewhere north of 90% of Congress lived in D.C. for some period of time. They visited each others homes, saw each other at gatherings, created relationships, even friendships. Their political interaction was changed by the personal relationships they had. Now, as I remember, the number living in D.C. is under 5%. Low likelihood of ever cooperating.

Even if a spending initiative was good for us, likely 1/2 would say "no" because the other half said "yes." Takes nay saying to another level.

I agree. It's the political SWAMP and there is a guy that is trying to fight it and see what a tough time he is having.
