WhyI'm leaving the Senate

Congress is evolving into some Byzantine creature that acts against the good of the nation in general. Filibusters and bi-partisan bickering keep it in a state of inertia. It is most effective as a cash cow for its members. I suppose it will change around the time of the fall of the American empire. Right now it has some entertainment value, but fails badly as an instrument of government.

The fun part is that us bitching about an ineffective legislature probably leads to a more powerful executive i.e. Caesar / Hitler.

Yep, I was thinking the same thing. People will reach the point where anyone who is actually able to get things done will seem attractive.
