From Thom Hartmann, on my FB feed this morning:

16. Citizens United, Thank you John

Worse than:
the electoral college.
the fugitive slave act(cross references with the 'war on terror').
the "great compromises" of the pre-civil war era.
the not-so great-compromises of the reconstruction.
the enacted-repealed-reenacted-unrepealable tax so we can show our true colors in all the profitable wars.

All examples of long term "solutions" to hide short term problems.
Gut legislation for the fearful, designed by the powerful and approved by the stupid.

And don't forget:
the hugest military budget in the history of time vs the highest health care costs of all developed nations.

So where does one start cleaning up this mess? top to bottom? left to right?
