Much ado about nothing Congress
Congress Ending, but Much Is Left Undone
WASHINGTON, Sept. 24 — A Congress derided as do-nothing has a week to do something, and the prospects are cloudy.
Procrastination, power struggles and partisanship have left Congress with substantial work to finish before breaking for the elections. The fast-approaching recess and the Republican focus on national security legislation make it inevitable that much of the remainder will fall by the wayside.
Much is left undone with only one week to go before Congress recesses for the November elections. “At best, it appears that just 2 of the 11 required spending bills will pass, and not one has been approved so far, forcing a stopgap measure to keep the federal government open. No budget was enacted.” Rep. Jack Kingston (R-GA) said, “We have not accomplished what we need to accomplish.”

What a job these people have in Congress. They get paid and raises for doing nothing. Lobbyist line their pockets, they rubber stamp the criminal orders of the Gerbil and lie to your face. One good this has come out of all this Americans now is who these Congress people really are.
Bowtie I heard Pennsylvania's upper class area's have gone Dem and Indend. as before the they were 100 per cent Republican. Thanks to the Gerbil people are changing. Poor Ricky he'll need more of that Harry Potter magic or fix those voting machines again.
