The Congress is not getting America's problems solved. Why? Because the present political scene in Washington D.C. is a continuous partisan battle. The Republicans try to stop any legislation submitted by the Democrats and the Democrats do the same to the Republicans.
Now if everything was fine in America and Americans had plenty of jobs, maybe a "do-nothing" Congress would be all right.
But America has problems that need attention. The budget needs to be balanced. The National Debt needs to be reduced. American infrastructure is decaying. Entire industries have been lost to foreign manufacturers. Unemployment is too high. Companies are using part-time help to avoid paying benefits and medical insurance. Immigration problems persist. The list goes on and on.
I think that present Congressmen are going to find out that citizens are very upset with them in the next election, and the feelings will be to "turn the bums out." I hope that happens and we get some new people in Congress, representatives and senators, who are willing to work together to find solutions to our problems.
Perhaps we need moderate independents in Congress that can get necessary work done, instead of the fighting and bickering politics of the partisan, extreme right, or extreme left people we have in Congress now.
All you have to do is to listen to some of the speeches that Republicans and Democrats in Congress make and you will hear that virtually every speech they make has a partisan slant to it, if not blatantly and obviously obstructive to the party opposite to the one they represent.
So voters, get ready. Let's "turn the bums out"!
