The current STS configuration was caused by large Democrat majorities in both houses of Congress in the 1970s.

I am not going to comment further today on the design, other than to say that I strongly disagree with posters who say it is adequate or even excellent.

I'm sure when we discuss this at an appropriate time FR will lead the way in insightful, intelligent discussion.
