In My Opinion: A "Do-Nothing" Senate

Dear Readers:


What is an enabler? It is one whose action, inactions or silence allows an action that is injurious to continue. In personal life it is one who buys or gives money to an addict in order for them to purchase or score that which they are addicted to. In politics it is one who stands by while something they in their hearts knows is wrong goes on. You will find this when an elected official stands by while one of their own party is engaged in something not quite right and remains silent. This in politics is the most common form of enabling.


We, in New York have two enablers in the United States Senate. Senator Charles Schumer, who is safe for another four years and Kirsten Gillibrand who is up for re-election this year. Their mode of enabling is silence. What are they silent about? By constitutional authority the Congress and Senate must produce a budget every year. Congress has done its duty when last year they passed their "Path To Prosperity" budget. The Senate had blocked time and time again any consideration of this budget. They have not produced any alternative budget. In fact they have not produced any kind of budget since April, 2009, almost one thousand days.


This is direct abrogation of their constitutional duty. Yet, both Senators Schumer and Gillibrand have remained silent while this President lies to the people about a "do-nothing" congress". The Republican lead Congress has passed since they took control over 50 bills, including proposed budgets and the Senate has yet to take up any of them for consideration. The truth is you have a "do-nothing" Senate. That legislative body lead by the Democrats.


While in a way Gillibrand can excused for her silence, after all she hides in Schumer's shadow and does nothing on her own. Schumer, on the other hand, is the third most powerful member of the Senate and there is no excuse for his silence. However their is an explanation. It is called "politics". He, along with the rest of the Democrats in the Senate, knowing they have a complicit media, are hoping the public buys the template of "do-nothing"Congress. Recent polls show they are not mistaken in this hope.


Media silence on the constitutional abrogation going on in the Senate have people believing that it is the congress that is doing nothing. The template that the "tea party", conservatives, right wing radicals, take your pick of invective, are blocking any kind of compromise. Compromise is not on the table. The Senate's inaction proves that. What the template really means is that the Republican will not give up their principals and give the Democrats everything they want.


That is not compromise, it is concession, and the Democrats with the willing help of the media will accept nothing else. It is time to return Kirsten Giilibrand to private citizen. By her enabling, she has proved the Constitution has no meaning, only party loyalty has meaning. You can put an end this year to a "do-nothing" Senate in November. It is your duty to do so. This is my opinion, you may beg to differ.
