These thieves should have been tarred, feathered, and run out of Washington on a rail long ago. Instead, we give them pay raises, more of our money to spend, and overwhelmingly re-elect them to their cushy jobs year after year.
Frankly, our biggest civic mistakes were giving the vote to people who either don't own property or pay taxes and allowing rampant fraud in the voting system.
