And now, another Fact of Congress

Sometimes criticizing Congress seems like a national sport …but that's not always accurate.

"Legislators are a bunch of crooks!" (animation)"Boo!" (voice besides narrators)

Most legislators want to serve the public. We may hear about a bad apple or two, but on the whole, most legislators are good hearted people.

"Too much wasteful spending!" (animation)"Boo!"(voice besides narrator)

Overall, most of your money is spent on important, widely supported projects like protecting our country and assisting senior citizens.

While some lawmakers fund projects that only support their district…

…whether or not it's wasteful is often in the eye of the beholder.

"You can't trust what they say!" (voice besides narrator)

Just like styles change, sometimes a congress person's opinion changes over time…just like ours might.

New information can give you new ideas.

And that's another Fact of Congress
