I keep hearing what the Presidential Candidates will do, but doesn't Congress fit in here somewhere. It took about 5 minutes for them to decide that we should pay for the damage that Russia inflicted on Georgia. It is just too easy for them to be charitable with the money of others. I also continually hear that President Bush has the lowest Public Confidence Rating in history. But, isn't that of Congress lower? Maybe it's the low opinion of Politicians in general.
