“If the Plague wiped out the US Senate today, would we notice a difference? I think not.”
You are wrong. If the entire U.S. Senate were wiped out today, the country would be immediately better off...literally by magnitudes of order. We would be eliminating the most corrupt institution in the history of the country. The nation would immediately and dramatically improve.

Of course, you are right! My bad! When I see House members on TV, there are a few of them that are patriots (mostly the one’s in the Freedom Caucus). But there isn’t ONE EFFING SENATOR that I would vote to save from the Plague.
The senate is not the problem. The lawyers and the judiciary are far and away to biggest problem in governments at all levels including states.
