Sure they are working Cael.  They are working to appease their nameless base so they get re elected.  I don't mean those nameless with personal problems with the VA or anything like that. I'm pretty sure they have office staff to deal with those kinds of issues and they get enough anecdotal stories to seem like they do it well and really care.  When it comes to the impact of national legislation that will effect millions of nameless nobodies, they don't care.  They care about the not nameless mega donors who fund their campaigns. 

I keep waiting for someone in the two percent to come out and say they don't want their tax cut to come at the expense of the thousands of medicaid recipients it's going to take to give just a few of them their tax break.  Instead there is dead silence, even from the so called Catholic bunch in those tax brackets.
