“FAIR TAX...get rid of lobbyists.

OR have every Congressman have to show ON the internet and in annually the donations from LOBBYISTS in RED. Additionally they will have to list the bills they supported that were tied to those lobbys”

“That'll work. while at it, let's write a law that bank robbers have to wear bank robber costumes. The tax is where the problem is ,but a sales tax won't cut it.

Take more and more away from the fed and let the states deal with it. At least the states are closer and should be watched more easily than having all down the street from Marko.

“Their approval rating sucks because 1) they tried to give immunity to illeagal aliens, 2) both parties have sold out to the corporations and 3) the faked-up war is still going on.

Listen to something besides fox and get with reality.”

Americans' job approval rating of Congress is up an additional 8 points this month, after a 12-point increase last month, and now stands at 39% -- the most positive assessment of Congress since February 2005.

Even though the Democratic Party had majority control of both houses of Congress in 2007-2008, it was able to achieve little of its legislative agenda while Republican Bush remained in the White House. This lack of results may have soured Democrats' opinions of Congress. During this time, rank-and-file Democrats' approval ratings of Congress sank to as low as 11% in July 2008, after starting out near 40% shortly after the party took control of Congress in early 2007.

Now that the strengthened Democratic-controlled Congress is able to pass most of what it wants with little or no help from Republicans, and can count on the president to sign it into law, rank-and-file Democrats hold Congress in much greater esteem. The 57% approval rating for Congress among Democrats is the best the party has given the institution since March 2002, when Congress' job approval scores were at historical highs in the aftermath of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
