Yep. And part of the problem comes from the lack of term limits. A Republican might enter Congress with the best of intentions. But after watching the other pigs feeding at the trough, he decides to make feeding a priority, too.
I think Congressional term limits can be put in place. But only if the current members are exempt. Then they might go for it.
There is precedence for this. When presidential term limits were enacted, the law did not apply to the current president (Harry Truman).
BUMP!
