The Farm Bill In "The Senate Hat Trick"
I confess, I’m not a professional Democratic political consultant. If I were, I’d lose a lot more often. And I‘d have a beach house.
But I would offer one amateur observation to congressional Democrats looking back at the past week:
If your public approval ratings are in the toilet, stop flushing.
Kevin over at Life has taught us explains how the senate's sell out on farm bill reform this past week fits into the public's dismal take on congress. His "hat trick of bad legislation" from the senate this week spans the farm bill, energy bill and Iraq war funding, and might explain congress's 32 percent approval rating the WaPo reported earlier this week.
Bush was at 33.

Thank you for the nod on the post. And, I think that "dismal" is a very nice way to put it. I am not sure if the politicians who were swept to power in 2006 actually remember why it is that they were sent to Washington. It is extremely frustrating.
And, although I know it is not the topic of Mulch, the upcoming FISA vote is likely to be yet another huge sell out of the American public.
Is it not clear how out of touch Congress is with the American people?
