Congress pt 1

Do you ever wonder if the government is actually for the people? It is something that I like to ponder on a great deal. As a government teacher, I teach my students that Congress is elected to represent the will of the people. That as citizens we vote for them, to enact the laws that will best help us. However, if you have been keeping up with what is happening in our country, you will see that congress is doing absolutely nothing. They can't form any since of compromise to accomplish doing any good for the American people. This should upset you. It does not matter whether you are a democrat or republican, or independent. They are getting paid to argue back and forth. Wasting tax dollars, left and right. Does no one else have a problem with this? With issues such as immigration and the border reform, Israeli and Palestinian conflict, as well as the Ukrainian Crisis; nothing is being done at all. Does it not anger you? We need to have representatives who do things that are actually beneficial to our nation. There is no reason someone should be making over 100,000 dollars a year to sit on their butts. American we need to wake up.
