What has Congress done in the past 15 months to help remedy these problems?

What do you suggest Congress should have done? BTW: Fed pumping billions into the banking system, fed lowering interest rates, feds /bear sterns deal etc etc. There was alot of gov't internvention.

1. Congress has continued on it's careless spending spree. If congress would balance the budget the dollar would strengthen

2.Congress has continued to block drilling on ANWAR. If congress announced they would let oil companies start drilling tomorrow, oil price would plunge $50 a barrel and we would pull out this mess. When energy prices increase three fold in a short period of time the whole economy is going to slow way down.
