In my opinion, The Mote in God's Eye, by Pournelle and Niven, ranks with with Asimov's Foundation books.

On a side note, would it be appropriate to say Congress has gone Crazy Eddie ?

I've read a lot of Asimov, but i've never read the Foundation series, so I can't compare them, but the Mote in God's eye was one of Pournelle and Niven's better stories. I also liked "Lucifer's Hammer", "Footfall", "Inferno", "Oath of Fealty" and so forth. Pretty much any of their collaborations are good entertainment.

The Mote in God's eye had a larger message that I consider very relevant to modern times, especially regarding the mass of "immigrants" fleeing the sh*tholes of their own countries and bringing their foolish/sh*thole ideas with them to other countries such as here and in Europe.

The world is full of unsustainable peoples breeding themselves into famine, and the whole world may eventually be caught up in this foolishness.

That is giving them too much credit. At least "Crazy Eddie" was trying to achieve some progress for his people.
