Now, just take that analysis a little bit further by adding the consideration that those elected to manage the nation aren't actually doing that and wondering why.

I bet it will yield interesting results about whose interests such people really serve.

    Wait, you're saying my Congresscritter who only shows up every few years to demand my vote (because it's ABSOLUTELY CRITICAL THIS YEAR that we defeat the other party) isn't actually laser-focused on my needs as a citizen?

    That seems unpossible.

    :P

    The only place I've ever heard "congresscritter" was Rush Limbaugh or other right wing commenter. It makes me cringe every time.

    I thought it was just a phrase in general circulation. I've actually never once listened to Rush Limbaugh. I find most political content unintelligent and uninteresting and generally prefer to just read facts and draw my own conclusions. My brain seems to work pretty well and I prefer not to have my conclusions drawn for me.
