Party politics need to be put aside.

Congress - start thinking about the American people. Disagreements about what works? OK. then get experts together and have them work out the solution and then listen to them.

This has to be done without protectionism. My employer asks me to do my job in a way that plainly documents what I do. This allows anyone to eventually compete for my job. I keep my job because I perform well. You need to live by the same standard - and right now, congress (yes all of you) are not performing well.

It's not just money - programs that are there to help people need to genuinely do it. We need your work to be measured by the customer (that's constituent, not the lawmakers, not Federal or State executives). Because in the end, if the mortgage program does not keep people sheltered, if unemployment insurance does not get to the unemployed, if food or medical attention does not get to those that need it, in the proper time, then the programs are not doing what they need to do.

Stop screwing around. People are getting hurt. People are losing homes. People are starving.
