Should Congress Dissolve itself?

Lloyd, you are so right, the American people are no longer represented, what can we do? God help us. 

Congress is the only part of the government that actually put together some legislation in the last week, 2 bills to attempt to solve the budget crisis and raise the debt ceiling, that is more than what the President and the Senate did, maybe we should just do away with the president and the senate, since the house is the only branch of government who saw fit to do something to help the country move forward!!!

Good Evening C Lloyd, my best guess owuld be 9o% have a negative view of congress.  American will survive and will improve but it is time for a 'New America'.

And the 'New America' will be a vast improvement.

Not willing to throw in the towel but I am will to throw the bums out.  I agree that we over spent but everyone forgets the 3rd war we are in because it was only going to take a few days.  Then the rediculous over spending on all the other stuff.  We are broke STOP SPENDING.

Good morning Lloyd.

It is time to start building, educating, developing, creating jobs, end the wars...

There is so much we can do...

Hi, Lloyd -- happy Sunday morning!!  You are right -- Congressional approval levels are incredibly low.  It is time, in my opinion, to go back to a citizen legislature.  Get rid of professional politicians.  If we had severe term limits -- for example, one 4 year term in the House of Representatives and one 6 year term in the U.S. Senate, then you eliminate the need to run for re-election or to be indebted to special interests.

Have the entire legislature roll-over in the same election year -- so that the House of Representatives would be like a college entering class.  They'd come in on day 1 and be told, "You are only going to be here 4 years.  It will go quickly.  Get something DONE and let that be your legacy."  And maybe we would actually start resolving some of the many issues we face.

C. Lloyd,

Personally I think we the American people should essentially fire all the Congressman and women and all the Senators and elect all new folks. A new group certainly can not do any worst than the current group. I am so tired of the games they are playing and each individual trying to get into the press limelight. What ever happened to the Best for the Country idea?

Wouldn't it be great if there was a spot on the ballots that stated "NONE OF THE ABOVE"?  Maybe if we left about 1/2 of those seats empty for a few years, it could save us all a great deal of money.  Perhaps the next batch that comes in might realize who they are supposed to work for.
