As is the case, each day it seems that the voters have less and less say over the rules and regulations enacted by the Senate. The attitude contained by most, if not all Senators is fuck you little people we are untouchable. This has never been more aptly brought to light then in an article in today's New York Times, in which the banking industry is road blocking any legislative reforms.
