We literally don't need congress for anything at this point. The senate either.
Anything these people could/should do that would improve anything is purely theoretical and arguing it could happen is entirely without merit.

This is the kind of thing that sent me from the left to the right. Every time I see these people make life worse for me, make their own lives better on my dime or act like the hysterical idiots they are, there's always a lefty publicly hoping they'll get more power and control over everyones life.

They need to make it where they get the median pay for all Americans and require 3/4 approval and a bill to be signed before they can change it.
