The Rant

Usually, I would not complain about the fact that Congress has done nothing, as nothing is better than most Congressional action.  But this ineffectuality is why Congress is so popular.  It does nothing and talks too much.  Bush and Paulson are at least trying to come up with something.   Posture before the press, make outrageous accusations and statements, pass laws and regulations that are at least part of the problem and then do nothing.    Congratulations Congress, for doing it to us again.
