Congress: The Unpopular Powerhouse We Depend On
Congress is struggling with a serious trust issue, and it’s time we talked about it. Only 9% of us feel confident in this institution that decides so much about our lives. It’s wild to think that the people we elect to make laws and tackle big issues have almost no one backing them. We dive into why that might be, questioning why we've just accepted this situation as normal. So, I want to hear your thoughts on this too—hit me up at jamesabrown.net.
Takeaways:
- Congress might be the only place left where bipartisan agreement actually happens, can you believe it?
- A staggering 91% of people lack confidence in Congress, according to Gallup's latest findings.
- It's shocking that the very institution we elect has so little trust from the public.
- Congress continues to make critical decisions about our lives, even when trust in them is nearly nonexistent.
- We should really ask ourselves why we're okay with Congress's lack of effectiveness and accountability.
- If you have thoughts on Congress, I really want to hear from you on my website!
