Things are bad right now for Congress.

The storied institution is pretty much despised by everyone in America. No, seriously. They’re approval rating is down to single digits -- think 9%.

That means that 90% of Americans think Congress sucks. (Holy crap that’s a lot of people!) And, it’s across party lines, too, with a solid majority of Democrats, Republicans and Independents thinking the worst of the legislative branch of the U.S. Government. Congressman Trey Gowd was quoted in article saying, “We’re below sharks and contract killers.”

It’s so bad that members of Congress are even ashamed to admit that they’re members of Congress.

Senator Lindsey Graham (pictured) recently admitted to a reporter that he lies to people about what he does. “It’s so bad sometimes I tell people I’m a lawyer,” he said.

Wow. That’s pretty bad.
