Good lord do they think we are totally stupid and don't see what they are doing?
They don't care... they know there will be some bitching from a few, and in 3 days it'll all be back to business as usual. Country clubs, exclusive fine dining, flying off to remote locations on lobbyists dimes and toasting each others' successes - laughing all the way to their pensions.
It's Washington, how could one expect any less?
