What good does it do to have a majority in either house and in the country if we can all be held hostage repeatedly by the same hand full of hostage-takers?

Who IMHO are only interested in enriching themselves at the public trough. Starting with a $180,000 dollar salary and leaving as millionaires. Many as multi-millionaires.

The best legal form of hostage-taking if your intent is enrichment.

And yes I'm ready to give up good honest policymakers if that is what it takes to clean house.
