Stiffing the Middle Class (Nadelhoffer)

The non-partisan Drum Institute for Public Policy recently released the results of their analysis of how middle-class-friendly the members of U.S. Congress have been.  It's no surprise how poorly Republicans fared on nearly every salient issue (e.g., 99% of the members of the House received a failing grade overall)--but it might surprise some people to learn how poorly many Democrats fared on several important issues as well (only 44% members of the House received an "A").  On a similar note, yesterday's New York Times had two interesting editorials on how Congress takes care of its own while stiffing the working poor.
