Good point. The problem is both parties do similar things when it comes to money. The problem is our system of congressmen/women that set up decades of power along with the intense lobby money thrown at them that over the years, gets the best of almost anyone. Thats why term limits for congress are the only real solution. Also, having congress be volenteer only and meet only for 6 months a year would also reduce mis-behavior. A number of states govern quite well only meeting for 1-2 months a year. The country does not have to be re-invemted every year. Tweaked yes. Re-invented no. Back to work.
