Which should come first for Congress, doing their duly elected jobs or go ape over politics?

Question

I just read a piece on Yahoo Home Page which states our
tax refund being on time is in grave jeaopardy because
of congress members bickering amongst themselves and the job they were elected to do is on 'low priority' while these
guys and gals play politics....it's our money and we want
it back on time...so let's take our message to our congress-
man, "...get your tail on the job..or get it kicked out next time
you need help from us....!" But then, would it do any good,
they have already goofed off 'til it's about too late anyway!

Answer 1

Obviously, from the way you stated this, the answer is that they are supposed to do their job and not cause trouble. But what do you think are the odds that we will ever have such a Congress? They get there by being elected, and so politics is obviously important to them. There's no good way to change that unless people who have a sense of responsibility run for office and get elected.

So encourage good people to run for office by supporting them with grass roots organizations, and get out the vote on behalf of the ones with integrity. But don't expect things to change overnight, because the incumbent usually has a big advantage.

Answer 2

The idiots think politics IS their only job, even if it means destroying our country in the process.
