But that's true for literally every industry. Congress passes laws about healthcare even though very few of them are doctors. They pass laws about oil drilling

But that's true for literally every industry. Congress passes laws about healthcare even though very few of them are doctors. They pass laws about oil drilling and I doubt many of them have training in that. Etc, etc.
Congress is incompetent at everything. Its just that you only notice when they are talking about something you know about.
- michel-slm 10y agoWhen Bill Frist was Senate majority leader, despite his training as a medical doctor he didn't exactly use that competence in the Terri Schiavo case. Congress is inevitably political, the problem is how to provide unbiased expert advice to it.
