The reason Congress' ratings are so low is simple: They still take the Executive branch seriously despite the fact that the Executive branch shows nothing but disdain for the Legislative branch. I'm sick of hearing politicians expecting Mr. Bush to do something he does not want to do. The only way Bush is going to do anything that he doesn't want to do is to refuse to give him the money to do it. Don't expect him to ever act in good faith, ever. My God, after six years if they haven't figured that one out then they are idiots. So, how about a concerted effort of Democrats to cut funding or refuse to approve funds - how about cloture on budget bills? If we don't, then expect your constituents and our country to continue being mismanaged.
