We all know what congress is worth!
A two year initial fight over ACA.
40 attempts to repeal ACA.
Carry on about the debt ceiling until Americas credit rating is damaged.
Block any and all attempts to rebuild infrastructure.
Not so much as one attempt to encourage economic growth or create jobs.
No attempt to even inquire about the NSA's misuse of power.
Would not bring about rational gun regulations. Not even as much as sanity background checks.

Ahhh, but WAR! That they make a great rush to bring about.
WAR the new American way!
There is profit to be had and they must serve their masters.
No in depth consideration, it's WAR!


And if I keep punching the keys this hard I'll have to get out the spare keyboard.
And if ya don't like the spelling or the grammar. Bugger off!

And install a group that (in five years) we'll fight a brutal ground war against those groups using weapons we gave them to fight Assad.
