Someone finally forwarded me the updated version of Charley Reese's 545 People editorial -- shocking it's taken this long, since it's been going the rounds for about 2 years.
The problem, even for the original 1985 version, is that it's those 545 and all the congresspeople, presidents, and supreme court justices who preceded them. Once the federal government does something, it's very difficult to undo, or fix. Congress is also only as smart as its dumbest member, so, for example, there can be 99 "good" senators and it only takes one Jim Bunning being a dick to screw things up. Of course, many of them seem to take turns being dicks.
