I also miss the days when congress wasn't totally worthless (I think that would be the contract with America)!"
Genuine question - (I'm not fishing for a particular response): When was this time you miss? You imply it is within living memory - so I am curious for an American perspective on when the real golden age was?

When Senators could call out another Senator, and take a pair of Dueling pistols and end a unbreachable impasse, the U.S. Senate functioned more efficiently and with far less PC bullsh!t! Perhaps that was our "Golden Age"!
Short of that, Term Limits would help today!
