America isn't interested in giving second chances. According to a survey done by the University of Minnesota, Congress' approval rating is at 8%. Only 8% of the country likes Congress, and it's only the first day that the 114th Congress is in session. And to make matters worse, one of the senators, Joni Ernst (a Republican from Iowa) said this: "If you ask somebody to pick a number between one and ten, eight is a pretty high number. So it's all good." After that, the approval rating dropped to 4%.
Where do I begin? It's bad enough that this is the most hated Congress in history, but Ernst's comment has pretty much made me lose all faith in humanity. People, this lady was just sworn into office. This lady is part of the majority party in the most powerful house in Congress. This lady is helping run our country. It's official. I'm moving to Australia.
It is kind of disappointing that the approval rate is so low, but I'm not very surprised. I think that this country will always be determined to hate Congress no matter what they do. I think I am probably just going to wait and see what comes about from this session before I decide how I feel about them.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Hanna that the country will always hate Congress. Now that I know more about what goes on in Congress, I realize that there are many road blocks legislation must get through before becoming law. With that in mind, I understand that things may take a long time to get done in Congress, while other people may not.
