Anyone watching the news? It is just me or is the only thing our congress and senate good at is doing nothing and pointing fingers? I mean really. What have they really done? Now our ecomony is in the hole and still all they can do is fight and stick to their party lines. Both sides have pretty well ticked me off. What do you think?

You expect to see this kind of behavior from two year olds not adults. Anyone for term limits? Some say term limits isn't a good idea because nothing will get done. I say, "what's getting done now?"

I completely agree. We need term limits on ALL elected officials.
You are also right about thier behavior. THey are reminding of my kids more and more. They are two and five. They fight and blame each other for things all the time (as kids do) but I really would think that adults would behave better. COngress is looking more and more like kids fighting on the playground adn I for one am sick of it. They can not play nice together than they ALL need to loose tehir jobs and start over with news ones. I bet the new ones would behave better after seeing the last ones all getting fired like that.

You're right. There's a lot of finger pointing going on. Both sides point at the other. Everyone points at Bush. But Bush didn't start these economic problems. They started with Carter and increased with Clinton. They'll mount even more with another Democratic president who wants to use the Robinhood mentality - that doesn't work.
Those dudes (and dudettes) in Washington have the worst approval rating in my memory.

The problem here isn't the Democrats or Republicans, it's both. They have both allowed the Federal Reserve Bank to inflate our money, create financial bubbles, and manipulate interest rates in the market with no supervision, no checks and balances,and no say so. The Federal Reserve Bank bought the U.S. from Woodrow Wilson in 1913 and they were responsible for the Great Depression. Now they are taking their turns again. This system has been in play for hundreds of years, and not just in the U.S. They crash the markets, the big banks (J.P.Morgan,etc) that have been in banking power for hundreds of years swoop in and buy all the little companies that crash. Then they pull back and let things simmer down, then when everything comes back together, it's all owned by a few individuals. It happened in Europe during the French and English conflicts with Napoleon. It happened here in the Great Depression. Now they're doing it again. It's a banking scheme and has nothing to do with our puppet governments. Do a little research, Ben Franklin and Thomas Jefferson share these sentiments.

The name of the game is bury the other party, and I think one party is a little more to blame than the other as they have most of the media in their back pockets. Bury the other party, nothing else matters.

nothing else matter, not even the people who pay their pay checks or voted them in. Sad. But true.

I agree with you completely. The only thing they seem to be good at is fighting among themselves. I really do not see what they have accomplished accept to make the problems worse. We need to vote them out and start over! If we do not do something soon to make them accountable to the American people - the people they are supposedly representing - then things will only get worse instead of better.

I completely agree.. Vote every last one of htem out and start over with a new congress. It would take two election cycles but we could do it. That would teach them a lesson. Either do your jobs or get out. Isn't that how we are treated by our bosses? Why should they be any different.
