Congress has been a a chronic desease India has been facing for many years just like the republican GOVT in the US. Both of them surviving on their past laurels. When ever republicans are in power they really screw up and then democrats come and rectify it. Just like Bill Clinton rectified the huge budget deficit left by Reagan.He even created a surplus.Then democrats put up an ultra liberal on the ticket like Gore and get the republicans elected like Bush and we all know in what kind of state he left USA in.
