#3 One more failure of our government. The US Constitution dictates that Congress should manage the City of Washington, DC. Congress has unconstitutionally shed itself of that responsibility by "giving" DC self-government. The reason they weren't given self-government in the first place is because it would become a political sewer, supported by Federal dollars, but not supervised in how those dollars were spent. DC is now a cess-pool of corruption and disease. There's no chance of changing anything until we get rid of the "old" crowd and their staff.
Every current member, and any living former-member, of Congress should be hanged for their dereliction of duty. Use the lamp posts along the MALL, and let the bodies hang there until they rot. |
