Is Congress a Bozo Factory?

You have to wonder what they teach congressmen these days. Most of them are lawyers and so see the world through a lens of litigation. What none of them seem to get is the slightest whit of knowledge about economics. They strive to pass laws and then are amazed it seems that the laws they have passed often have deleterious effects almost the opposite of what they said they intended. SEE HERE

This tends to leave the observer mystified. What is going on? Are they really that stupid? The conspiracy theorists among us immediate say "No it must be a nefarious plot." However this quickly leads to too many plots all of which are way too stupid. So the most obvious explanation is they are really the bozos they appear to be.

We need smarter and more economically savvy politicians.
