WHAT COMPANY IS THIS?

Can you imagine working at the following company? It has a little over 500 employees with the following statistics:

* 29 have been accused of spousal abuse

* 7 have been arrested for fraud

* 19 have been accused of writing bad checks

* 117 have bankrupted at least two businesses

* 3 have been arrested for assault

* 71 cannot get a credit card due to bad credit

* 14 have been arrested on drug-related charges

* 8 have been arrested for shoplifting

* 21 are current defendants in lawsuits

* In 1998 alone, 84 were stopped for drunk driving.

Can you guess which organization this is?

Give up?

It's the 535 members of the U.S. Congress.
