Let’s say you hate your job, but not enough to quit. Let’s say you’re no good at your job, but not bad enough to be fired. Let’s say you’ve decided to go through the motions—punch a clock, dodge the boss, and go home. You’re faking it.

Now let’s say you’re a Republican member Congress and your job is to work with other people, pass laws, and govern. You may hate your job. You certainly aren’t getting anything done; the GOP-led Congress is dysfunctional.

And now you’re not even faking it...

Republicans have the right—and perhaps even good reason—to oppose the president’s policies. But they can’t honestly reject a person who hasn’t been nominated, a budget that hasn’t been submitted, or a prison plan that hasn’t been read.

1. The U S Congress is the only institution on Earth that is dysfunctional by choice

2. One of the many reasons I cringe

every time I hear someone say, "This is the greatest country on earth."
Harsh, I know. I wish I didn't feel this way.
