Too Much Worry About The Wrong Thing

Sad headlline on MSNBC's website today ('First Read'): "A budget with re-election in mind"

I'm a believer in sticking to the basics and taking care of job one. Take care of the basics and many (most) of the things that end up causing us worry will take care of themselves. Love and respect your spouse ... your marriage will thrive and last. Students, concentrate on learning the material you're given (rather than grades in and of themselves) and grades will take care of themselves.

As for the headline above: Politicians, look out for The People and re-elections will take care of themselves! Most of those knuckleheads in DC worry about the wrong things. Do the will of those who elect you and re-elections will take care of themselves.

That's a tad over-simplified of course but it's nevertheless TRUE that politicians are focused on the wrong things for the most part. Instead of re-election, focus on what The People and Constitutional Principles demand of you and things will tend to work out better for everyone!
