If you take a close look at who most of them are it becomes crystal clear. The overwhelming majority of Congresscritters are professional politicians with little or no actual experience in the private sector outside of being attorneys. Most have no business experience whatsoever and of those that do most were failures. They have no experience setting and sticking to budgets and they have no idea what it means to make a payroll. Most of them know that they simply do not have what it takes to make it in the private sector. Most are in their dream jobs and have powers and prestige that are well out of their reach in the private sector. They know when they are in these elected positions their ill conceived, poorly thought out decisions have little or no consequences for themselves personally. Simply by virtue of being elected to Congress they have insured income for life, along with the best health care in perpetuity for themselves and their spouses our tax dollars can buy. Meanwhile, lobbyists throw bales of $100 bills at them daily. It's all about the three "P's": Power, prestige and perks. I seriously doubt there are more than an handful of true Patriots in the entire body of Congress. Therein lies the problem......
I am so disappointed in Ryan I could puke.
