Representatives care nothing more than cashing their paycheck and preserving the status quo.

The Founders believed the Congress would be jealous of their power, and act as a check on the Executive Branch. It worked for a hundred and thirty years. But the legislators became more concerned with the security of position, and found the Administrative state an easy way to dodge responsibility for their actions, as a way of staying in their position.
