What answer do you wish? Neither side has done anything to benefit Americans. Although, with all the gov give-aways that the left does, I can see why they want to steal more and more from the builders of the American dream. Because they left are takers, not producers. They want higher taxes, to pay for their generosity from others' earnings. They know that if someone is dependent then they control them, therefore they enslave the minorities. They also control the school system by threatening to take away their funding if they don't toe the line, the liberal left line.

Just remember, you liberals need us, but we do not need you. REMEMBER that.

And to answer your question in another way, is congress doing more for America when they are recessed than when they are in session? I believe they do more harm and cost Americans more when they are proactive. Our congress should take a hint from Texas and only go into session every two years. That way, they would do less damage.
