No need to guess why their approval rating is the worst in history.

The Democratic-controlled Congress, acknowledging that it isn't equipped to lead the way to a solution for the financial crisis and can't agree on a path to follow, is likely to just get out of the way. Lawmakers say they are unlikely to take action before, or to delay, their planned adjournments -- Sept. 26 for the House of Representatives, a week later for the Senate. While they haven't ruled out returning after the Nov. 4 elections, they would rather wait until next year unless Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson and Federal Reserve Chairman Ben S. Bernanke, who are leading efforts to contain the crisis, call for help. One reason, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said yesterday, is that ``no one knows what to do'' at the moment.

LabGuy, I enjoy your reactions to the latest snippet of "news"...

I agree that the current congress is Dem weighted, but the last
decade has been a different story. They both suck, imo, but nearly
9+ years of spending our dough as quickly as they can, has been
a product of a heretofore Republican Congress and Senate...
a little digging shows the Rep/Dem ratio for the last few Congresses
as per the link:

But, I suppose most of the "what ails us" could be alluded to the current
gang of self-serving idiots as opposed to the recently former gang of idiots.

Throw out all the bums. Fire Cox and Bernanke too. Bunch of pathetic losers in both parties.
