Send Congress Back to Grade School

Created by H.H. on December 11, 2012

Congress is like a kid throwing a tantrum on the Monkey Bars and the whole U.S. is about to feel it! When kids are irrationally stubborn, their teachers intervene. So let’s send in the Recess Lady. I’m proposing we have a third grade teacher conduct a social skills workshop for our entire Congress. Day One: the basics. Cooperation, problem solving, and good sportsmanship. Trust falls, parachute games – whatever it takes. Day Two: apply what they've learned by volunteering to do stuff that gets ‘em dirty. Let’s remind Congress what it means to serve the American people and let’s have them start by serving lunch. The bottom line is, they’re not working together and maybe they've forgotten how. Let’s go over being good citizens and then ask Congress to practice. Who’s with me, America?!
