But, you're right, we do have a government run by unelected staffers. Peter,
I don’t think there is nearly as much turnover of politicians in Washington as there should be. But, you’re right, we do have a government run by unelected staffers.

Staffers run Washington because the turnover of politicians is so great yet we never voted for those staffers. That is undemocratic. Linda,

But the fact the bill is difficult to read shouldn't stop Congressmen who are voting on the damn thing from reading it. If they want to resign from Congress they are welcome to read "The Cat in the Hat" for the rest of their adult lives. Hi Roxana,

I called my reps and was ignored. I cannot believe that people run for a position where they are supposed to know what is going on and they don't. We need to vote them out and start again! Peter Schiff who is running again Chris Dodds in Conn. has youtube video's where he predicted what would happen with the financial meltdown in 2006. Perhaps if our elected reps read the bills they were passing they would have known also! I agree with you 100%! I called my reps and was ignored.

Can you maybe explain or give an opinion as to why we still write laws/legal documents in such convoluted language?
