Sigh @ US Senate

Some mornings, all I can do is stare at my inbox and at the news wires as they trickle out, and wonder what the hell Congress thinks it's doing, collectively.

See, one of the basic problems with politics (and human decision-making in general) is that politicians undervalue the future. Or in economics parlance, their discount on the future is too high.
