Everyone wants to throw the bums out, but they also want to keep their bum because he/she has acquired political clout in d.c. and can bring pork to their district. The problem is, they can only vote for their own bum, so rarely does a bum get thrown out. Thus 40 year bums in d.c.

You’re 100% correct. I guess that segues into a certain level of selfishness in most people. A little... I don’t like what’s going on or my taxes going up, but we’re getting a new park...or some other nonsense like that. The fact that folks can’t see past their BS is beyond me.
