Our Congress is Defunct!
Ok ... This is repulsive. Wake up America!!! Get a grip! Come on! How much more bending over can you take? Is this whole country enjoying this anal abuse?
I have a solution to this blatant gross negligence by the very Congress Persons who are supposed to be representing the best interests of their constituents. You may not like it. It involves everyone one of us to actually get up and do something. Stand up for ourselves and this for Country.
We need to excise all of these politicians, all the way up the chain of command. Excise them like the cancer that they are. They should be charged with treason for violating or betraying the trust of every American Citizen. Now deport them. Deport every single one of them, along with all of the illegal immigrants that flood our borders.
Then we start all over. Elect new Officials, Politicians, Department Heads, Judges, etc. Institute a new salary scale commensurate to the working poor and middle class.
The United States Government has no business aiding any country in the process of instituting a government when it's own entity is plagued with corruption & greed.
If you don't, or won't, do something, then you lose the right to bitch or complain about the status or position of this Country and should be deported right along with the rest of this criminal syndicate.
Thank you for your time. I hope you put some thought into what you're going to do come the next elections.

Congress Is Empty, Get Used to It
The House Has Spent 19 Days in D.C. So Far This Year
March 21, 2006 — - The seats of Congress are empty this week, with the nation's lawmakers out of town for the St. Patrick's Day recess.
The empty seats are a sight that is becoming more common in the Capitol with Congress on track to set a modern-day record for the least amount of time in session. The House plans to be in Washington 97 days this year.
When the nation's representatives are not in the capital, they're not on vacation, but Rep. Dan Lungren, R-Calif., says some more time in Congress would be useful.
"If Washington, D.C., is where the action is for lobbyists, it certainly ought to be where the action is for members of Congress," Lungren said.
The average American has worked more than 50 days in 2006, but, so far, the House has worked in Washington just 19 days, a total of 118 hours. The Senate is not far behind with 33 days at the Capitol.
"If we get much shorter, I mean, we're going to have a drive-through Congress," said Mary Boyle of Common Cause.
The House calendar is already set for the rest of the year. The representatives will meet for two weeks in April, a week in May and July, and all of August. Even a national newspaper points out that with fewer than 100 days scheduled, the House is on track to be in session less than what President Harry Truman called the "do-nothing" Congress of 1948.
Republican Rep. Jack Kingston defended the schedule while meeting with children in his Georgia school district on Monday.
"The work isn't all about Washington and voting," Kingston said. "We really have three jobs. One is voting in Washington. The other is getting out there on the streets. And the third job is one-on-one casework."
It's also an election year, and Republican leaders have made sure members can spend plenty of time talking to voters and maintain the Republican hold of the House majority.
