Some of the reasons why Congress doesn't Work

‘’—“”
What have some people been doing for the last 20 years or so?

Making it easier for Congressmen to make extra pocket money.

• They can get money from Lobbyists.
• They have arranged for businesses to make more money, so that they can hire more Lobbyists.
• They have allowed Lobbyists to weaken laws, and write new legislation that gives businesses and corporations more freedom to act, who, in turn, can hire more Lobbyists.
• They have reduced taxes for business corporations (in return for favorable treatment by Lobbyists), so that Lobbyists can earn more, and treat Congressmen even better, and take the load off the legal aides of Congressmen, so that Lobbyists can write superior laws.

With all these Lobbyists helping Congressmen, why don’t they do a better job of legislation?  We ought to restrict how much playtime Congressmen have with Lobbyists.  I’m sure is just a few bad apples, but those apples are terrible.  It is just depressing to see a few diehard Congressmen addressing a number of empty seats.  They should rename C-Span as C-EmptySeats.
