"People want democrats to control congress after this fall's elections:
45% to 40% prefer for a democratic congress reverses the finding a month ago on the same question: 44% for republicans and 41% for democrats.

But the margin is thin and there's a flashing yellow light for incumbents of both parties: Only 36% of respondents said they want their own member of Congress to win re-election this fall".

New day, new poll, new result.
Tomorrow might be different too.

I don't see why the public would want to see anything other than that. The Repubs have shown "NO" inclination to want to do anything, directed at help the American people.

I think we need to fill Congress with CPA's ....let them get the budget balanced.
Then we can consider politicians once again.

There's plenty of honest ones out there jimw144.
Obviously Congress can't add or subtract...they just see infinite dollars to spend.

So lets see,

we can't trust government (or politicians)
we can't trust political parties
we can't trust cpa's
we can't trust bankers (or wall street)
we can't trust the military
we can't trust the media

the list keeps growning...

who can we trust?
