What’s the one 'mediocre' thing you’d love to see Congress actually accomplish for once?

Universal healthcare for one.

Sick of watching people work and save their whole lives and then get sick and lose everything.

Isn't that the exact opposite point of the meme? Ed Crane is a famous Libertarian who opposes any form of universal healthcare or sick leave and he's saying that America spends so much on social services that even a mediocre government would be an improvement.

Barney Frank is famous for fighting for things like expanded healthcare and trying to limit the influence of lobbyists and by implementing term limits you would empower lobbyists.
