Professor's Congresional ScoreCard

It is that time of the month when I rate the US Congress on their actions or inactions. With all the election stuff going on it was a short month for our legislators.


Jan.08--1 step backwards.


Feb. 08

economic stimulus package--forward
to outlaw waterboarding and other torture--forward
FISA bill pass--backward
Steroid hearings--backward


With the rating system I use, step forward, step backward and no step; Feb 08 the Congress accomplish nothing it was rated at a stand still. For the year they are moving backwards which is not what they were sent to Washington to do. can you now understand why their approval rating is about 20%?
