Awesome question. Never thought of it that way.

Confirms my position that nobody in congress gives a shit about the people. To get to that level in politics, you HAVE to be corrupt in some way.

Republicans in congress always talk a good storm and sometimes push through half hearted measures, but they often compromise in order to push corporate friendly trade deals and war spending among other things.

After getting scraps in return for policies we don't agree with, they expect praise saying the democrats would take it all, so keep voting for us so you don't lose everything.

I'm thinking if that were true, that there were actually some non-corrupted conservatives, that they would be sneaking in pro-gun, anti-illegal-immigration, and/or pro-life legislation into the omnibus.

Instead, the perceived "good ones" like Cruz and Rand, bloviate and bluster. And vote against things when they are going to pass anyway.

Just imagine what these bills would look like if these scumbags actually worked for and represented us.
