I could not resist writing a poem to welcome back the newly seated congress. Like it, or not, here's what I see in Washington

Two Faced Politicians By Franklin Price 1/6/2019 Two faced politicians are the ones in Washington When it's time for re-election, they're for the people just for fun Will say they'll reach across the aisle for the best for you and me When they're elected and are seated, say we'll have to wait and see If politically they're right or left, doesn't matter much at all Their object is their office and the people least of all They're elected in their states, but are controlled up on the hill, Will continue this stupidity until we've had our fill With mid-term elections over and the elected coming back There is new talk, for the impeachment, for the leader of the pack He has caused of lot of problems for the gators and the snakes Must be removed from office, no matter what it takes Two years now in office, here are things that have been done Unemployment at its lowest, economy is number one, Taxes were made lower, for the rich to reinvest Isis has been searched out and been driven from their nest Negotiations going on, for a better world-wide chance Now the U.S. not the only one, who is paying for the dance The swamp folks, now in Washington, won't admit that this is true To do the things, that made these happen, are not the things that they would do I often wonder where we'd be, if the president not Trump Closer to incineration, by swamp leaders, at the dump Very few in Washington will try to reach across the aisle, If it's not for re-election, will never walk the extra mile We need another party near the middle of the lane The two we have at present, have all but missed the train The president we have, as now, has made a giant start Neither party wanted him, the people's voice gave him the part If not for our founding fathers, Trump would not be there They created the Electoral College to make United fair Each state would always have a say in the central government The Constitution is still working as our founding fathers meant

I hear you, I have traveled all over the world, all I can say is there is far worse. I would hope with Trump, some will realize that politics is not as easy as it seems and will respect more those with different views but towards the same goals. Sometimes we have to hit bottom to rise up, I can only hope!

I also have traveled extensively. It would be nice if the majority of people, in the U.S., could be exposed to what exists outside the boundries of this country. Then maybe something would get done about things that matter, and less complaints about things that don't
