That's the charge from Democratic members of the metro area's congressional delegation in a new report being issued today. The study is drawing critics, but was largely researched by a Washington, D.C.-based think tank that has a reputation of being somewhat to the political left but also knows how to count.

"We went in for what was supposed to be the happiest days of our lives and walked right into a nightmare."
