We've already _got_ a pack of thieves, idiots, never-do-wells and politicians (but I repeat myself) in Congress. It can't get much worse.

- maxxxxx 15y agoIt can get much worse.
- weavejester 15y agoActually, it could get a lot worse. There may be a lot wrong with the US government, but as governments go there are not many in the world that are considerably better, and a large amount of governments that are much, much worse.
- pnathan 15y agoNo, actually, we have some fairly functional people in Congress. They are heinously self-interested and often vote pork and lobbyist groups, of course, but we do the same thing with our own little domains (hacking, free music, code, entrepreneurship). Very people have the ability to have the grand vision, and fewer have the ability to put that view in effect. But we could have much worse. Much, much worse. A brief survey of world history in the 1910s, 1920s, and 1930s should serve to illustrate the meaning of "worse".
