Bi-partying division

President Obama is set to reveal a new job bill early next week. The President hopes that the legislation will be passed quickly on the basis that the key points are similar to those that the Republicans and Democrats have agreed on historically. The bill includes extended unemployment benefits, rebuilt schools and infrastructure, and a tax hike to those who fall in the top 2% income bracket. The house Republicans are already planning a block to the proposed legislation stating that the previous stimulation package did not work so this is another attempt that is destined to fail.
With all of us in school, and hoping for future employment my question is this. When will our representatives stop their bi-party bickering and realize that is the people they were elected to represent that pay the price? Constant blockage, and lobbying to get the upper-hand in the next election is causing suffering to the American public. Do not get me wrong, I am not making an anti-GOP rant, because the Democrats would be doing the same thing if a Republican were in office. To me it comes down to when is enough really enough. It seems to me that our elected officials have lost touch to the "average Joe". In a time where unemployment rates, and market recession are dominant isn't it time to put allegiances aside and work together to repair our slumping economy. Get the economy under control, and then they can go back to the good ole days of lobbying, and defamation of character that has come to define American politics. That is my take on the situation, but then again what do I know?
