Gridlock is good.

Not for politicians.

Congress is comprised to two houses, containing 435 people whose sole job is to make laws. The more laws they enact, the more powerful they all become and the more they control.

Since they've pretty much trashed the Constitution, there is no reason for gridlock--especially for the career politician. It is their version of climbing the corporate ladder.

“Congress is comprised to two houses, containing 435 people whose sole job is to make laws.”

To be clear, there are 435 in the House with 100 in the Senate.

That makes a total of 535.

Just sayin. . .

That's the problem. We have a class of people who does nothing but make more and more laws for everybody else, while they can exempt themselves.
That is not good. It needs to change.
Elections are supposed to keep them in check but with half the population on the take, it's not working.

I'm beginning to see how the ancient civilizations collapsed, under their own weight.
