I guess all that THINKING that went into their not figuring out a way to keep a few kids from crossing the Mexican border must have fried their brains. They just didn't much care about all those "liberal" states catching fire and having no money to fight back.

So they went on vacation without approving the money needed to fight these fires.

Congratulations guys, you are sticking to your promise to deny everything Obama wants, even if it's just to keep a few of our western states from burning to a crisp.

Well, Otter, you done it now.

Those in Congress are really tired of bickering and doing nothing and deserve a 5-week vacation. After all, they earn $174,000 on up and just HAVE to have time to spend their booty... and I suspect that their pockets are lined with cash and they have industry-funded junkets to go to.

I know, Kind of sickening, ain't it? Maybe that's why their approval rating is so high.

Isn't your thread title a bit misleading? Shouldn't it just read "Congress"? There are Dem's there too you know, what have they done? Same thing as the Rep's, absolutely nothing.

Good points.

There is plenty of partisan blame to go around. And on BOTH sides of the fence.

Throwing the bums out just seems to be a futile effort, "reloading" if you will, instead of making a change.

There have already been a couple of republicans bounced out... Cantor was very powerful but there needed to be a change and hopefully there will be MORE on both sides....

That's why they are at 13% approval...With numbers that low neither side should be patting themselves on the back and/or pointing fingers...

With California in a 100-year megadrought, this has very real life-threatening implications.
