con = together as in connect
gress = move as in progress.
So, by putting the prefex and stem together we get congress, but , by definition, they are not doing their job, are they

Well, Pro is the opposite of Con, and progress is the opposite of Congress.

There was an actor a long time ago that could have given you the correct answer to that one. His name was W.C.Fields, he said, "Never give a sucker an even break." Promises are made that never can be kept. Tell them what they want to hear and do what you want. Money talks and bull-crap walks, remember that.
