Clint Eastwood: Washington lawmakers 'don't give a damn'

Eastwood, 82, expressed frustration toward lawmakers during the Friday sit-down, saying, "There's just a lot of people standing looking at one another and maybe it just appears that way to us who are outside of the Beltway.”
Calling the current political climate “very disappointing,” Eastwood says, “I just wish — the election's over, we should be moving ahead. And the leaders aren't stepping up."
 Instead, the former Carmel-by-the-Sea, Calif., mayor contended, “It's almost like they don't give a damn. And so if they don't give a damn, why did they expect anybody else to?"
maybe this would have gone over better with the public then his chair.
Asked by “Squawk Box” co-anchor Becky Quick if he thinks the situation is a reflection of poor leadership or the American public not wanting to hear bad news, he replies, “I think [lawmakers] have to hear from the public out there and maybe the public is a little lackadaisical as far as — you know most, the average layman out there [is] sitting going, ‘Well, nothing I can do about it so I’ll just wait it out.’ But meanwhile, don’t want to wait too long.”
it's designed to stifle our complaints we either have to take time off from work and pay to come to DC to protest which means food and other life things or write and email to  who w don't know, if their is a response it's rubber stamped, so how do you gt to congress? small groups at local tv stations voice your anger at what is happening or not happening, in each county of each state of course the media has to be complicit, but i believe you get nore bang for practically no bucks.
one thing though you have to be serious not right wing underinformed rants but real and not angry to a point you to start to sound like the rest of the crazies, calm and collected thoughts are listened to, rants are just heard.
