Good news from Congress, really?

In an op-ed article entitled " Building trust, one palm frond at a time ", there's some interesting commentary that some of the Congresspersons realize that things aren't working well and it's up to them to change things.

Not sure if that will work with Bozo Boehner and Shut-It-Down Mitch McConnell running things, but at least some of our elected representatives and Senators are thinking in the right direction.

There's this:
"But the Marshall Islands adventure Flake and Heinrich took is more evidence of lawmakers coming to the (correct) conclusion that Washington is broken because personal bonds have unraveled."

and also this:

"A more recent effort, undertaken by Democratic fundraiser Nancy Jacobson and backed by former Republican presidential candidate Jon Huntsman, has made some progress. The group “No Labels” now claims a “Problem Solver” caucus of 75 House members and eight senators. On Wednesday, No Labels held a gathering in Washington to refine an unobjectionable platform the group hopes to inject into the 2016 presidential race: create 25 million jobs over 10 years, secure Medicare and Social Security for 75 years, balance the federal budget by 2030 and make America energy secure by 2024."

Actually sounds reasonable. Doesn't stand a chance unless the winds of change start blowing harder in the halls of Congress.
