Some good information here regarding our screwed up government, hope the mods don't delete it, as long as we keep it civil.
With that said, there really is only one way we as "The People" can fix this, and that is vote out all incumbents, it's just too bad most voters don't have the brains to do the leg work in finding out who is an incumbent, or even know what incumbent means, they just pull, push, or check a box of the current name on the list. The system is broken, and corrupt, and doubt would ever be fixed or changed in my lifetime. The way the FAA ignores Congress is a very good example!
