Are Politicans Not Looking Out for the Future???

As I was seaming the Austin Statesman, I discovered the story "Baby boomers' reluctance to reach agreement hurts younger generation". I think this story expresses a lot of what the youth of today and by youth I mean 21 to 35 is feeling when it comes the politics in America today. There are many things that we as the youth look forward to but one in specific is where will we be in the future. Our future is we are going to school for, setting goals and making it happen in our lives now for and it seems like our elders in government, aren't looking out for our good. Theses are the people that we put our trust in to make decisions and lead us in the right way so that when grow old we can look out for the next generation. The editor rights "congressional leaders choosing their ideology over a compromise" when it comes to national debt and thats not looking good for the youth.
This kinda reminds me of a quote that I was once seen by Edmund Burke saying, "Yor represntative owes you, not just his industry only , but his judement and he betrays, instead of serving you, if he scarifices it to your opinion." In other my own words he is saying that Our representative is elected by US, the people, for consider our opinion but keep in mind he knows more than we do when it comes to matters in politics thats why we eleted him. Everyone might havenot gotten who they wanted but the majority did. It's democratic and it's the fairest way to support the majority as a whole.
So when i think deeper about I feel the same as to why the debt deficit is not decreasing. Those are the things that we were promised but thats not what we are seeing happen. On the other hand we have to leave it up to that representative to weigh his options carefully and considerably and pray that he makes the right decisions. He not only has the weight of his constituents but also the other members of hs party and his own view on the subject. So i think this subject is not only a wake up call for the the Republican and Democraic party but for the people of America as well. So the next time you and I go vote it would be very important to do some researching to whom we're choosing to represnet US prior to dropping our ballot in the box.
