It's two years of nasty phone calls from rich guys who hate that their taxes went up to help pay for some of it.

Since the new Congress has taken their seats, they're hearing from a lot more than a few angry rich guys. They're hearing from enough people to take their cushy jobs away from them and that scares them more than the rich guys do.

It's about time something did.
