>Its ability to track down violations is limited, and growing more limited by the day. I hate to actually don a tin foil hat given the title of this particular HN submission, but is it not possible that this is all by design? I mean, aren't politicians the ones who are, at once, in charge of making sure that organization is effective, and at the same time beneficiaries of any ineffectiveness in that same organization? So if it's effectiveness has been eroded over the past, say 20 or 30 years, and it has, obviously the politicians benefit. Or more precisely, the various political machines these politicians and campaigns are a part of benefit.
