"allegations damage the institution, and with it, public faith in our democratic system."

How about a 16 trillion debt amassed without a balanced budget added to our already 65 trillion dollar National debt of unfunded liabilties? and still not coming to an agreement on that balanced budget?

This definitely doesn't give me any vote of confidence in these institutions and with it public faith in our system at all and as you can see the rest of the American people don't have that confidence either with a 9% approval rating in Congress and the selling out the American people and our future generations.

Alot of these politicians are crooks and scratch each others backs its obvious to everyone. I am so sick of these federal probes that lead to no where and continuious fraudsters and schemes. Good days are coming ahead and the bad will be exposed and the truth shouted from the rooftops!
