If you don't like the government, why the fuck are elected to be a part of government?
Congress' job approval is at record lows. Many of these lawmakers who rush to the cameras are the reasons to why Congress sucks. They are elected to write legislation. They can't be activists, guest radio hosts, bloggers, podcasters and social media darlings. Their job is to write bills, draft resolutions, pass budgets and engage with their constituents. They work 185 to 234 days out of a year. Why can't they actually work for good of America instead of this ridiculous partisanship.
President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris should invite the leaders of Congress, 20 senators and 60 House members to the White House. Get them wine, fine food and a handful of souvenirs. For some of those lawmakers, slide a little blow and a straw. Buttering up these lawmakers is a gamble but it shows the president is willing to work across the aisle.

| Biden knows Congress is a total clusterfuck. |
We are coming close to a government shutdown. We have Republicans opposing raising the debt ceiling which could lead to the United States defaulting on its loans again. We have them also opposing funding the budget for 2022. Their refusal could lead to a partial shutdown of federal agencies. That could put millions of Americans working out of jobs. With this damn pandemic and sluggish economy, the politics of division is front and center within the chambers of Congress.
The very same folks who whipped up an insurrection now whipping up the collapse of the American economy.
Also the Democrats are faring no better. The progressive members are threatening to tank bipartisan efforts to pass President Joe Biden's American Jobs Plan. The portion of the Build Back Better agenda could be defeated by the progressive wing's most visible members who refuse to back bipartisanship.
The "Squad" is the left's version of the "Freedumb" Caucus.
For every Idiot Karen Greene, there's a Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. For every Karen Boebart, there's a Cori Bush. For every Karen Cawthorn, there's a Ro Khanna. For every Karen Jordan, there's a Jamaal Bowman.
Bernie Sanders, Karen Sinema and Karen Manchin are fucking ridiculous as well. The independent senator and the two distractions within the Democratic Party refuse to compromise with the 47 members who are all on board with Biden's agenda.
QAnon leader Karen McCarthy and Obstructionist leader Karen McConnell are telling the junk food media that the Democrats can do it all by themselves. When House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Majority Leader Chuck Schumer do it, the Republicans are blocking it with the filibuster.
President Joe Biden warned federal workers to be prepared for the government to shutdown.
Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen is telling Congress that the Treasury Department will likely exhaust all of its "extraordinary measures" to avoid an unprecedented default on the government’s obligations by Oct. 18.
Yellen warned Congress three weeks ago that the Treasury would run out of maneuvering room by mid-October. In a Tuesday letter, she said economists were able to issue a specific date based on the amount of revenue the U.S. had received in September from corporate and private quarterly tax payments.

| We need better leaders. Pelosi and Schumer can't get things done. McCarthy and McConnell can't get things done. We need people of color to run government. |
Yellen's letter arrived the day after Senate Republicans blocked consideration of a bill to deal with the debt limit and approve a stopgap funding bill to avert a government shutdown Friday. The expectation is that Democrats will remove the increase in the debt limit and just seek to pass the stop-gap spending bill to avoid a government shutdown.
In her letter, Yellen said, "We now expect that Treasury is likely to exhaust its extraordinary measures if Congress has not acted to raise or suspend the debt limit by Oct. 18. At that point, we expect Treasury would be left with very limited resources that would be depleted quickly."
Yellen said it was uncertain whether Treasury could meet all of the nation’s commitments after that date.
As she has done in the past, Yellen urged Congress to "protect the full faith and credit of the United States by acting as soon as possible" to either raise the debt limit or suspend it.
While the nation has never defaulted on its debts, Yellen said that waiting until the last minute to take action would not be wise. In a budget standoff between Republicans and the Obama administration in 2011, the credit rating agency Standard & Poor's downgraded a portion of Treasury's sterling AAA credit rating for the first time in history, citing the uncertainty caused by the standoff.
"We know from previous debt limit impasses that waiting until the last minute can cause serious harm to business and consumer confidence, raising borrowing costs for taxpayers and negatively impact the credit rating of the United States for years to come," Yellen said.
"Failure to act promptly could also result in substantial disruptions to financial markets, as heightened uncertainty can exacerbate volatility and erode investor confidence," Yellen said in her letter to Congressional leaders.
