Fourth, he's tried to push through bills and legislation in order to make the government (and lately the Fed) more transparent. Just because it doesn't actually go through doesn't mean he isn't trying or isn't doing anything.
Here's a few from back in 2007 http://politicaleducation-jachocotea...ngressman.html |
The problem is even without the vast majority of congress standing in his way, he is still a career politician. Any time those asshats want to push through bills to make government more transparent and more accountable, all it seems to do is end up creating more government jobs and move levels of bureaucracy to wade through to get 'the truth' out of them, not what they claimed the bill was going to do in the first place.
The system is currently broken, and he is part of the system.
