That's if government worked, and worked for us at that, not corporate interests. Merkley and DeFazio are a few of the good ones, but most politicians at the Congressional level are corporate tools, or at best, beholden to their corporate donors. Unless politicians stop taking money from lobbyists (I'm looking at you, DNC) then we'll continue to get half measures, doublespeak, and flip flopping while politicians act only to suit their donors, to the benefit of corporate America. 
Unless we get big money out of politics, we aren't going to have a government that works for us.
