VK you nailed it with the following:

"What, this Congress? With the lobbyists actually writing the bills and paying the members of Congress to pass them? Or the lobbyists writing the regulations and then paying the mid-level bureaucrats to publish them?"

This is the matter with Washington on every single major issue facing this country. That is why I refuse to use terminology regarding congress or the POTUS as "representatives" of the people.

They have no shame in the way they operate. Just look at the ratings. Look at their demeanor when labeled a do nothing congress. Zero impact.

BUSINESS AS USUAL!!
