So if you are like me you try to figure out the meaning of what is being said by watching what is being done. Words have a funny way of hiding the truth while actions represent exactly what was intended. So by all the GOP chairmen and women not seeking reelection in 2018, I am somewhat baffled. I know it's not because they cant come to terms with telling blatant lies, or doing nothing for the public while doing everything for themselves, these aren'tt the reasons.
These people who get these jobs never quit, cant be fired. In the end most are like Orin Hatch and simply can no longer hide how useless they are, but that takes decades and these retirees aren't there yet.
So looking at their actions must tell us something about the motives, but the only actions are speaking out about their conflicts with their positions and their loss of conviction for their ability to govern. In other words very little to go on and even less to believe. A conundrum never before seen in modern politics to my knowledge anyways.
The GOP and DEMS have no problem recieving healthcare for them and their family for life while not giving it to the same people who provide it for them. Neither party has any problem with party-line voting that gets what they all want to be done. Imagine a job where you could do nothing and get rich while writing laws that make it impossible for others to do so; then imagine leaving it.
I'm not saying that the majority of us would do so, we wouldn't. Most of us survive on very little and still find ways to help friends and family out when we can or have to. It takes a special person to want or need more than they can use while those around them are more and more doing without. Its arguable that they can move into great paying lobbyist positions and with the tax cuts im sure they have some new opportunities for that. But these people were getting plenty rich as it was so why the mass exodus?
I'd like to think that its because they cant square with screwing the American population out of everything they posess but im not that naive. I'd hate to think its because there is some impending doom and they want to move their families to a presumably safer location, while not informing the public, because thats too far out to believe, or is it?
It will be interesting to see how this all plays out: im sure of one thing, unfortunately these people cant tell the truth so we all should pay close attention to what they do.
