Congress parties with the big money

This article states that congress should not be labeled as slackers and not doing anything, they use their time having golf outings among other things. He says that congress is cutting ethical corners in the name of charities to get money. He also says no other group does this more than the congressional black caucus. He states that in 2008 the black caucus only used under 400,000 dollars for charitable organizations and scholarships and about 3.9 million dollars for dinner festivals and other entertainment. Overall the writer states that the politicials need to focus on lawmaking.
I believe this article is a little radical. For instance, the dinners or other "Galas" may be meant to support law making decisions, meet with lobbyists, or talk about legislation. i dont want to believe that our lawmakers completely suck, but i do believe everything can be improved upon. I think there is some fact in this article and we should take it into some consideration.
