Mark Schmitt is a dunce at the Roosevelt Institute

Why Political Reform Should Be Priority Number One This is yet another completely entagled fool. The number one problem with the political process is the lack of fair voting in the Senate. I mean, a godamned sixth grader can do the math, yet time after timer idiots write about reforming politics fail to notice this fact.

Ezra Klein is the only pundit who has come even close to acknowleding the political process may be stymied by law.

Think a bit Mr Schmidt. What are the differing demands from a big state vs a small state. The big state does no have accurate voting, it can only deliver the goods to the extent that all voters realize the same benefits. Large states are going to need large transactions at less frequent intervals, think of Texas ghetting its space program. Small states want smaller transactions more often, think earmarks for Kentucky.

Start there and do a little thinking, the response of Congress is bandwidth limited because of this, we will always be unable to respond in an economic emergency.
