This is so true. K-street mostly writes bills and then invites staffers over for reviews before they hand them off with the check on the side to the reps who vote on them without ever actually reading them. Those staffers are often plied to do the bidding of k- or whatever letter street, with stuff like offers of a job later. (See Jack Abramoff's talks) Such a bullshit state of affairs. Our representatives don't represent us at all. We live in an oligarchy.
