1. Handling congress can only be done if they are not being handled
by big money and lobbyist, and the desire to win elections. Many also have fear of reprisals from big money.


Any consolidation of influence in secret will go corrupt, that is why best systems try to avoid that, and why better systems have ways to stop that influence.


I think President Obama is doing pretty good, and congress seems a bit timid to showing what is going on, because the media spins what is going on anyways. So they get disheartened when they try, and get many road blocks from many sides.

I think they are doing pretty good, the middle seems to be doing ok for the obstructions that have been there for years.

The top side is on the move, and the bottom side is rolling also, so things should work out pretty well.
