you think their approval rating is bad now - wait until they start paying everyone with IOU's - their new idea if they don't pass the debt limit is to pay people on Social Security, owed a tax refund, and workers with IOU's. Check out this article at govexec.com- latest-debt-ceiling-proposal-issue-ious (sorry I tried to paste the link but it wouldn't work).

Why do you think this is funny?? There are alot of problems that need to be dealt with in this country. I suggest you go wotk somewhere that writes comic books.

A testament to term limits.

Congress is similar to swimming in a lake of diarrhea with a speedboat constantly passing you 3 inches away.

None of the above. Can we put a 2-term limit on these positions so that they are no l longer a defacto aristocracy? US Congress at times, with its abundance of members too old to think clearly much less keep pace with society, resembles the many aristocratic governments of centuries past and the despotic regimes oft criticized today.

If one party has come to completely own its constituency, we could at least force the change to a new figurehead more often than once in 30 years.

I used to occasionally have encounters through various groups with different Congressmen. If I ever encountered another one, I'd have to do my best to refrain from spitting in their face. I know I would not be able to stop from swearing and/or calling them by some very offensive name. About the only people whom I would regard lower than a member of Congress is a class action lawyer.

I'm ripping this off a commercial, but Congress "working" is like a dentist sneezing in your mouth while working on it.
