It is very frustrating to watch Congress be so ineffective. It is equally frustrating to live in such a gerrymandered region that voting the people being ineffective out is virtually impossible (or feels that way). I have contacted my Congressional reps multiple times about this. And yet when they speak publicly or in Congress it's to increase the division. Political parties are not teams and Congress is not a competitive sport. We have to get back to discussing how to meet in the middle when discussing funding the government and other important legislation. When have any of us ever gotten everything we've wanted? Why would government policies be any different?

It is a shame they are able to receive their own salaries when they fail to fund the salaries of other federal employees.
