My monthly feature of scoring how our dynamite US Congress is doing continues. They spent more time in hearings than on anything of substance, but I found a few issues that they weighed in on.

So far in 2008, here is how I see the Congress.

Jan–1 step backwards
Feb–No step–a stand still
Mar–2 steps backwards

Apr–1 step forward

May–3 steps forward

Some far after a slow start in the first of the year, the Congress seems to be moving in the right direction, but will it last?

Here is how I graded the month of June 2008.

1–Paper on the misleading on Iraq–Backward

2–Failure of Global Warming init.–Backward

3–Failure of windfall profit tax–backward

4–Bill to give more visas for fashion models–backward

5–Bill for unemployment extension–Forward

6–Pass of war funds–no step–only because there were provisions in there for the benefits of the vets.

7–Pass the FISA Bill–Backward

The score for the month for our Congress is a total of 4 steps backwards.

May was a good month for the Congress, but they did what they do best–neutralized any good by going in reverse.

Please remind me, why we voted these guys into office in 2006.
