The legislative branch of government is broken.
The Senate no longer represents the states. It has become an elite country club for pompous politicians.
The House is full of professional politicians who pander to interest groups and big donors, not the voter.
The people vote to reelect incumbents. Therefore most Senators and Representatives have life tenure if they want it.
The political parties control the pipeline of candidates for Congress. Therefore it is virtually impossible for the people to throw the bums out in mass and replace with citizen legislators.
The political parties control the power structure within Congress - committee assignments, committee chairs, leadership positions.
The “ethics” committees are a joke. Congress does not throw out the bad apples within its ranks.
Almost all Congressmen and Senators are attorneys. Attorneys add no value to society, they are consumers not producers. Attorneys have no commitment to equal justice under law. In today’s world attorneys are hired guns committed to influencing outcomes and moving money from one pocket to another.
Then we shouldn't elect any more of them!
Then we shouldn't elect any more of them.
Then we shouldn't re-elect any more of them.
Why does it seem that them OTHER 49 states are at fault for electing all them bozos?
Then switch or ELIMINATE them!
