Uneducated people (we all are) complain to their representatives to do something. The representatives, so fearful of losing their position as opposed to doing the right thing, fall to the whims of their constituents and do what they ask. Rinse and repeat. Stupid policy after stupid policy.
Decisions based on emotions almost always turn out bad.

So in the end WE are to blame. If a representative does the right thing which is often time the HARDER choice we don't re-elect him thus telling his replacement to tow the line and do as we say even though we often don't know what's good for us. That's why we have representatives. We bitch about pork but when our representatives decides to eliminate OUR pork we vote him out for not doing enough for the area. Well the reality is the only pork our representative can do anything about is our own.
