Congress should focus on U.S. needs

Congress is dysfunctional for not: fulfilling their fiduciary responsibility by passing bills in a timely manner, hurting lives and the economy; feeding 50 million starving American children and providing adequate low-income housing to the poor; protecting citizens from 'out of control” crime and violence; guarding our borders when anybody can just walk in; sincerely concentrating on our infrastructure of roads, bridges, plus air, water and ground pollution.

Congress is disgraceful: demanding money from those who actually work hard for a minimum wage when poor; giving billions of those dollars to other countries with no return; slaughtering American children in wars that are not ours to fight, unwinnable and have been going on for centuries to millennia; give money to campaigns for candidates to barf platitudes to make our lives better but keep making life worse for most.

Congress should be doing their job by: spending our money we have to give them on our declining country; sending soldiers to fight our war on poverty, hunger and fixing our things that are broken; using the National Guard and military to protect our borders and fight our crime; and stop wasting our assets on foreign soil.
