The Congress That Couldn't, Wouldn't, Didn't

The rudderless, aimless Congress that hasn't done anything for the last four years seems to be circling the drain...unfortunately they are creating a whirlpool that threatens to take the world economy down with it.  I really wish we had the ability in this country to have a 'vote of no confidence' capability.  The citizenry at large is beginning to think the same way I see....

By the way, Independents are now a larger group than either political party, so the news is even worse there -- the pool that Congress has to draw from if they ever hope to attract more non-thinkers back to their ranks:
