      Isn't it up to Congress to pay for the wars?

        No. The American taxpayer pays for everything. We elect the Congress. Therefore, the fault ultimately lies with us.

          Yes but Congress has to appropriate the funds and I agree the fault lies with us. We keep electing the same pieces of crap. Meanwhile everyone looks at the Presidency as the end all, be all when in fact Congress is what is ***** us

              The least useful poll is the poll asking "Congress' approval rating."

              They'd have to do work and do 535 separate polls to get a real estimate.

                  My rep's an idiot, too, though he may be on the way out thanks to the magic of partisan redistricting.

                      Perhaps you should go back and read your own post. My reply was specific to what you highlighted (bolded).
