Why don't we have better government?


Matthew Yglesias - Because the GOP is run by lobbyists.
....Why is the Medicare bill so crappy? Because the GOP is run by lobbyists. Why can't we make student loans cheaper? Because the GOP is run by lobbyists. Why can't we secure chemical plants against terrorist attacks? Because the GOP is run by lobbyists. Why is the tax code so full of loopholes? Because the GOP is run by lobbyists. And so on down the line.

Or, again, why don't we have a serious energy policy? Because the GOP is run by lobbyists. Why is our broadband internet so slow and crappy? Because the GOP is run by lobbyists. This analysis works for about 90 percent of possible topics.
