While the United States continues to recover from a horrible financial crisis, Congressional members are harming the country in the name of politics.
Instead of giving middle class Americans a sense of financial security, a deal on the "fiscal cliff" was not reached until the last possible moment.
Instead of showing responsibility to make sure the government can pay off its obligations, some House members have suggested letting the government shut down instead of raising the debt ceiling.
While unemployment remains high, Republicans in the House of Representatives blocked the American Jobs Act, a proposal that would not add to the national deficit and would increase GDP by 1.5% (according to Goldman Sachs).
The actions of Congress are clearly aimed against the American people.
