Congress? You expect
baseline dysfunction but this
is something special …
The joke used to be that if PRO is the opposite of CON, what is the opposite of progress?
Now Congress is the joke.
I have tried and I have wanted to keep politics out of these essays as it wasn’t what I wanted to do but the words in the Opinion Piece, The People Who Broke the House by Michelle Cottle, a domestic correspondent for Opinion and a host of “Matter of Opinion” were to good to pass up.
Ms. Cottle wrote: When it comes to Congress, Americans have come to expect a certain baseline of dysfunction. But I think most of us can agree that the current House Republican majority is something special.
If alive today, I can hear the authors of the Federalist Papers talking back and forth and Alexander Hamilton saying to John Jay and James Madison saying, “What do you think of the House of Representatives?”
Mr. Madison would answer, “I think it’s a good idea. We should get one!“
On the other hand, if they wanted a Government that was representative of the Country, they did a great job setting the current one up.
