Criticism of Congress
And now, another Fact of Congress
Sometimes criticizing Congress seems like a national sport …but it’s not always accurate.
“Legislators are a bunch of crooks!” (a voice besides narrator)
Most legislators want to serve the public. We may hear about a bad apple or two, but on the whole, most legislators are good hearted people.
“There’s too much wasteful spending!” (a voice besides narrator)
Overall, most of your money is spent on important, widely supported projects like protecting our country and assisting senior citizens.
While some lawmakers fund projects that only support their district...
…whether or not it’s wasteful is often in the eye of the beholder.
“You can’t trust what they say!” (voice besides narrator)
Just like styles change, sometimes a congress person’s opinion changes over time…just like ours might.
