Some of those people in Congress need to get the hell out! Just like we get a new president every 4 to 8 years, we need some new blood in Congress!

Part of the problem is that there are no term limits, but the other issue is that no one is willing to go against their own party in order to come to an agreement. I watched 60 Minutes this past weekend, and they addressed this exact issue. It was said that even if you vote with your party 98% of the time, you're looked at as a traitor. A Congresswoman from Maine said that she didn't run for reelection this year because nothing was being accomplished and she was fed up. They had the Senate Majority and Minority Leaders sit down with each other, and neither of them would really admit that party lines and an unwillingness to cross them was the problem.
It's sad. We can't move forward if no one works together.
