Hmm. 95 Senators out of 95 say "No", while 60% of the US population says
"Yes" (source: ABCNews poll). Why again do you have elections in the US?
I hate to say this, but this situation looks like US politicians don't care
about the people they represent once they are elected. Worse yet, it looks
as if elections are only held so the wealthy few can choose some of their
own to make their wishes (read: even more wealth) into policy... :(
