Over the years I have been President of several civic and fraternal organizations. A tactic I used from the very beginning about members who were bitching or complaining about something worked wonders every time I used it. It was simple.

Just put the person who was complaining in charge of the 'project' or 'department'. In almost every case, about 95% of the time, that person did make the assignment even better than it was before. In the other 5% there was very little change done and the person shut up.

So I applaud this move by Baucus.
