And lobbyists? The fact that government completely ignores what it's citizens want in favor of those big money donors and lobbyists? Nope just the tired old "buresucracy" tropes that apply equally to big business and big government...but somehow in stories like this it's the big government that's the problem. Fucking clueless idiot media.
