It might be the perception of many or most people that the Congress and government do nothing, but at no time in my life -- or in yours or in anyone alive today -- has the federal government sat back and did nothing. It's always busy oppressing someone. To be sure, many people feel it's doing nothing about a particular issue -- often an issue government caused or made worse (such as healthcare) or that's actually a non-issue (such as immigration; if there's an issue here, it's rather that there's too little immigration not too much).</span></div><div> </div><div>By the way, Congress's unpopularity seems to not block those in the Congress from getting re-elected. I suspect the polling data is telling us more how the Congress is unpopular overall, but not particular representatives and senators being unpopular in their district -- at least among likely voters. (And you probably know from your background in psychology how folks can hate X and not hate Y even if Y implies X.)<br><span></span><br><span>Regards,</span><br><span></span><br><span>Dan</span><br><span> Sample my Kindle books via:</span></div><div><font color="#000000" style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><a href="http://author.to/DanUst" style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">http://author.to/DanUst</a></font></div><div><br></div><div><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></span></div></body></html>
