Gersh, I understand your motivations to make these idiots personally responsible.

However, consider that when I was up in Northern Virginia, the two folks running for the House seat from my district spent $5 million dollars. This is for a job that paid, at the time, a little over $100K per year.

I looked at those numbers and reflected that there must be some other perks involved. While I'm too uninformed to know the reasons, there seemed to be some other issues involved.

It is clear to me that change will not happen from the top, and probably seldom does.
