Wanna put money on that in Vegas?
That is what happens to members of congress. They have to vote on important legislation with hundreds of millions of dollars at stake, and some nimrod puts in some crappy thing into it, and your choice is to vote for it because of all the good being done, or against it because of the one crappy thing. Then you get smeared in campaign ads either way. In conclusion, this is why the next President will not be a sitting member of congress.
