**sigh** yea, I agree..... All of the lunacy the Congress is trying to pull right now is EXTREMELY frustrating for me.

I don't have the patience or energy to launch into it, so I'll just say that I feel this is
EXACTLY what's going on. And what are we to do about it? If our congressman is one of the ones rabidly pushing for some of these things to go through (such is the case for me), there's nothing I can do. Any opposition I try to voice would be ignored, because he sees it as his ticket to more terms in office. It's this kind of thing that has turned me off entirely from any interest in national politics, because I don't trust them. As a 23-y/o (with many peers who share my opinions), that sadly spells misfortune for our country's future.
