Everyone knows about the substantive issues of concern, like federal health care, but very little is said about the process, the lack of accountability.

I don't have a particular go-to political blog.

In the state of Michigan, where I served in the state Legislature, there was a lot of shuffling of money between one year and the other to balance the budget.

The IRS takes your money. Congress uses our money to arm our enemies. The IRS takes more of your money. Congress uses that money to fight the enemies Congress just armed.

Legislation that names a specific private organization to defund (rather than all organizations that engage in a particular activity) is improper and arguably unconstitutional.

I haven't been in politics too long so that's a good thing.

I think something substantial will pass out of the House at some point during this term.
