I could add about 20 more reasons but these 10 are a good start. >From The Foundry @ The Heritage Foundation<http://blog.heritage.org/2010/12/31/morning-bell-top-ten-reasons-america-wont-miss-the-111th-congress/?utm_source=Newsletter&utm_medium=Email&utm_campaign=Morning%2BBell> : The 111th Congress is officially over, and according to Gallup, it’s also *officially the worst Congress in the history *of polling.

Starting at the top with Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), you find a woman who is not at all ashamed of the legislation she has passed, despite the disastrous poll numbers. *Pelosi says she is "very, very proud of the work that was accomplished by this Congress."* The American people, though, think differently, and they have already issued their verdict on the 111th Congress by way of an earthshaking election in November. If you take a look at some of Congress' big-ticket "accomplishments," you might understand where they're coming from.

Cap-and-Trade I would add Net Neutrality along with the takeovers of the auto, home and college loan industries.
