I believe the govt's mass of seething flesh has a single GREAT fear - that 
the masses will discover we are better off without them.  Remember the great 
train wreck of a few years ago when the govt shut down?  COngress called it 
the bigggest catastrophy since,..well, ever!  Yet it was a time of blissful 
peace - no new laws promising to prevent some or all of us from doing 
something we might enjoy.  It was 2 weeks IIRC, that must have been agony 
for news crews covering Congress - if only we could have prevented them ever 
finding the nerve to pass another mountainous budget - we might have entered 
an extended  time of relaxed, happy citizens.

Hmmm...  if only we could cut the congressional pay and benefits from the 
budget or at least reduce it to some sane levels - then we could go back to 
the time of short term gentleman leaders who govern for a few years then go 
back to private life - never to be heard of again.

but they're never going to cut their own throats -- it's like expecting them 
to police themselves -
And the best they can do is exempt themselves from the new laws they pass -

Humbug -
