What is the Congress working on and what should they be working on?

I know that the President wants to start on health-care and the stimulus bill, but is there something else that the Congress should be working on?

Could they be re-instating Glass-Steagall, for example? Or perhaps regulating the trading on Wall Street that manipulates the gas prices at the benefit of a few traders on Wall Street and the Big Oil companies? Or maybe investigating these latest emails from James Comey about the legality of the Bush/Cheney torture policies?

What should they be doing, in your opinion?

I have the sound off, so I'm not completely sure.

Lock.. stock.. and barrel. Nothing benefiting middle class America is going to get through this CONgress or any other one.

The Big Corps are pleading their case ( at this moment) to Charlie Rangel (Dem-New York). I'll be shocked... shocked I tell you.. when the tax bill fails and the tax payers are left holding the bag. i.e. BOHICA.. (Bend over.. here it comes again)

Ballmer is one of 10 U.S. software company executives pushing back against the tax proposals in meetings today with White House officials including Jason Furman, deputy director of the National Economic Council, and the heads of congressional committees such as House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Charles Rangel, a New York Democrat.

They were fairly adamant about it during the Bush* Cabal but nary a word now and the expenses just keep growing. End the "wars" and bring our troops home.....It should be a very top priority but seems to have been placed at the bottom of the pile..
