Can you imagine working for a company that has a little more than 500 employees and has the following statistics: *
29 have been accused of spousal abuse
7 have been arrested for fraud
19 have been accused of writing bad checks
117 have directly or indirectly bankrupted at least 2 businesses
3 have done time for assault
71 cannot get a credit card due to bad credit
14 have been arrested on drug-related charges
8 have been arrested for shoplifting
21 are currently defendants in lawsuits
84 have been arrested for drunk driving in the last year
Can you guess which organization this is?
It's the 535 members of the United States Congress.
The same group that crank out hundreds of new laws each year designed to keep the rest of us in line.

PATHETIC! I keep saying to "Clean the slate and start over", apparently I'm on the right track!

Those numbers are close in comparison to our Mayor and city council.
ONLY IN AMERICA ! Crooks running the country! I agree with country girl , we need to clean house and start with a fresh page , but you and I know that will never happen!
It will happen when you put term limits on Congress. Sorry, that will never happen because it will never get to referendum.
Pot, meet Kettle......This raises my hackles a little bit.
That information is not new. It has been going on for years. Most of them in Congresss feel they are untouchable. And you know what? They may well be right!
