Frustrated with Congress? Irritated with the lack of progress in gov't reform? Get used to it, because no issue will every be solved until $$$ is taken out of the equation. The system is setup to maintain the status quo. Politicians will ALWAYS vote based on where the money leads them. Policy succeeds or fails based on the corporations and billionaires that pay the politicians to vote in their favor.
