"HOUSE PASSES BILL TO AVERT 'CONSTRUCTION SHUTDOWN' " and Illustrates all that is wrong in Washington.

The House passed some short term funding to keep the Highway Trust Fund solvent until next May, thereby kicking the can down the road just a little bit, and doing nothing to solve the real problem. Until Congress stops using stopgap funding and putting bandaids on top of bandaids, so long as hearings about Bengazi replace entitlement reform, as long as members of Congress are more interested in trashing each other and raising re-election fund than they are in working together: Congress will continue to be irrelevant to the rest of the country.
