The Congressmen
The United States government is in some serious trouble according to John Oliver. He stated that the United States congress would be “the least productive in history this year”. Which is kind of a scary thing since they control what laws will be passed and newly enforced in our country. So what I’m saying is that our congress is going to shit basically. All of this is happening because all the congressmen are disagreeing with each other and no progress is being done. Without the Congress functioning fully I do not know how our country is going to stay the way it is.
So the reason why the Congress can cause great difficulties in our country is because the laws that are being passed in the state legislatives get to congress and just basically shut down. Congressmen just argue about topics and make absolutely no progress. You can see from the video of John Oliver’s show “Last Week Tonight” what can happen if tensions get to high in the legislature. These congressmen get some angry at each other that they will fight each other until other congressmen break them up. Violence is not the answer to making our country better, it will only tear it apart.
There is corruption in the United States Congress. It’s so bad that some congressmen and state legislatives are going away to prison. Almost all of the corruption is either from money or through indictments. Just to think that us as American citizens we have voted these corrupt people into office. They’re offering no help to our country only negative things.
Unfortunately the problems don’t stop in Congress. The state legislatives are also to blame. There were reports on the John Oliver Show that a state senator was arrested for stealing condoms from a drug store. The police pulled the Rhode Island senator over and the senator had one of his buddies come to where he was pulled over and harassed the police officer. He threatened to hurt the
