Neither, it's the 535 members of the United States Congress.

The same group of Idiots that crank out hundreds of new laws each year designed to keep the rest of us in line.

I'm sure we can count on Congress to solve our energy problems though, right????

I was in Washington, D.C. recently on vacation and got a tour of the Capitol by a HR staffer. Nice young guy. I was alone with him for a while while we went to see if the line on the Senate side was shorter to get it (there were zero in line there compared to several hundred on the HR side because senators apparently have longer terms and don't give a hoot and won't bother to have their staffers give us a tour). He had only been there since last summer after getting out of college. I asked him what kind of career he saw in this and if all of the political games didn't bother him. He said he probably would not stick around for more than another year. The whole system is about playing games, it seems. Term limits should be something like two years for everybody, I think. After that, most are corrupt if they were not already.
