I think it has more to do with summer vacations and fall campaigning. Wish they would have just suspended it until after fall elections. I sometimes feel as if some people are threatened in some way. Why doesn't anyone push to get Obama's college records released? I think everytime someone comes up with something, they are smeared, and possibly threatened somehow. Paul Rand has at least a budget plan to cut $1 trillion over 10 years and still maintain the status quo in government. He is ridiculed, lied about how he would eliminate social security and medicare, etc.
It is also very wrong if poll after poll on various issues say the majority want this or don't want that, yet the politicians will not vote that way and get things done.
