Rant on Congress - Rave for Congresswoman Tammy Duckworth


Once again this year and also last year, this United States Congress is the Congress of Shame. With the exception of Congressman woman Tammy Duckworth who slammed a government contractor claiming he was a service-disable veteran. Check it out on the Internet.

In the meantime all congressional members have left for a week of undeserved vacation without taking action on the student loan bill that would keep the interest rate of student loans at its normal level of 3.5 %. As of today many loans move up to a 6.8% interest rate once again devastating the budgets of numerous American families.

Congress has the responsibility to work for the American people, both collectively for national legislation and also for group individuality when the federal adjudication is within their purview. Congress failed with gun-control legislation and it failed again with leaving for their comfortable week off from doing their job. Once again I say, "Shame on Congress."

I have written my representatives. I hope you do too. You may disagree with me and that's fine, but you should let your representatives know how you feel one way or the other. It is the only way we constituents can remain in control.
