There is not a lot of consensus on anything in the world, but we come really close to consensus when we talk about the concept that Congress is broken. Almost everyone realizes that Congress is in shambles and that it is a mere shell of what it once was. There is consensus almost across the board that Congress spends too much money and that it is driving us completely bankrupt. We soon face the real possibility of full financial breakdown and the Congress just doesn’t get it. They continue on with the backroom deals, cramming legislation down our throats, ignoring our will and telling us anything they think will get them re-elected. The real concern of both parties and politicians is getting re-elected. It's not about America anymore when it comes to Congress.
