And these guys are running our country!

For those of you who have never traveled to the west, or southwest, cattle guards are horizontal steel rails placed at fence openings, in dug-out places in the roads adjacent to highways (sometimes across highways), to prevent cattle from crossing over that area. For some reason the cattle will not step on the "guards," probably because they fear getting their feet caught between the rails.

A few months ago, President Obama received and was reading a report that there were over 100,000 cattle guards in Colorado. Colorado ranchers had protested his proposed changes in grazing policies, so he ordered the Secretary of the Interior to fire half of the “cattle” guards immediately!!

Before the Secretary of the Interior could respond and presumably try to straighten him out, Vice-President, Joe Biden, intervened with a request that…. before any “cattle” guards were fired, they be given six months of retraining.
And these guys are running our country!

I wonder what would happen if we installed a few "idiot guards" around Washington D.C.??? Bet that would slow down traffic.

Sadly, none of the people that made the report or read the report have ever lived outside of a city. I had seen my share of those in farm country, as a kid.

Had any of them done so, they would have used the proper term - cattle-stop - because it stops cattle from crossing at that spot. It may have eliminated any immediate "city boy" confusion.

Or perhaps they haven't seen this commercial:

It doesn't take a genius, but it does take someone who knows more than just politics and city life.
