If you really want congress to do something how about letting the A.T.F (Alcohol, tobacco, firearms) have a computer. Right now, they have masses of data but none of it is in a computer because the elected class deemed that they shouldn't have any computers to deal with that data. Its great for providing jobs (they are trying to do it all by hand) but - well, you know.
