Former US Senator Chris Dodd gives an outsider's view of Congress after serving 36 years on the inside. He says Congress is apparently unwilling and unable to come to terms with the major issues facing the country and it's making us look ridiculous to the rest of the world. He spoke with MPR's Gary Eichten at the annual Eugene J. McCarthy Lecture at St. John's University and the College of St. Benedict on October 26, 2015.
