If anyone wonders why we have so little faith in our government and those within it, consider the obsession with the Mueller Report. It is about the only thing the Inside-the-Beltway crowd is talking about these days. Russian collusion. Impeachment. Impact on 2022 elections. Meanwhile, farmers in south Georgia continue to await help from the government after the devastation from Hurricane Michael last October estimated at more than $2.5 billion. Politicians on both sides of the aisle are arguing over how much money to give Puerto Rico. Sadly, that really isn’t the issue. It is all about political gamesmanship. As Gov. Brian Kemp said, “This gridlock exposes the rotten core of some in Congress. They would rather crush an entire industry — destroying the livelihood of countless Americans — than do something that the opposition party wants. This dire situation highlights the brokenness in Washington. We have reached a low point as a nation.” Amen.
