The purpose of congress is the same as the purpose for any government of any form: to take wealth from those who have earned or created it, spend it on things the people who earned or created it don't want, all while skimming off as much as possible for their cronies and for themselves. Has been true since the dawn of time ... or at least since the dawn of government.
Anyone who thinks there's two sides to everything hasn't met a M�bius strip.

The problem with a body that thinks it purpose is to pass laws is that they tend to judge their performance on how many they pass.

I always scratch my head and wonder why there are some people who complain about gridlock. It seems the times when there is gridlock are the only times I feel "safe" from the acts of Congress.

Don't forget lining their own pockets. That's #!, along with getting re-elected.

Oh yeah, you may not be a millionaire when you get elected to your first term, but by god you will be by your third term. Not my opinion, the public stats and tax disclosure.
Well this is a fine pickle we're in, should'a listened to Joe McCarthy and George Orwell I guess.

They're so far astray from their constitutional duties, its impossible to see them ever figuring it out. Pathetic. The founders knew so much; these people, not so much.

Just when you think all is lost the House passes a $1 billion package for Israel’s Iron Dome system.
The vote was a blowout: 420-9 - 8 Democrats and 1 Republican voted “no,” and Hank Johnson and AOC voted "present. Which is a pretty impressive accomplishment for Hank - generally he doesn't have a clue where the hell he is.
