Time For A Re-Work?

I think the founders were counting on honorable people, acting in good faith, to keep this little experiment going.

And maybe that turns out to be a fatal flaw, but holding each other to even loosely defined standards of decency, and honesty, and ethical behavior worked reasonably well for a coupla hundred years - certainly not for everybody, but for a lot of us anyway.

Madison and Hamilton worried out loud that what they were putting in place could be used as a guide book for exactly the kind of shitty maneuvers we've been seeing for over 50 years.

We have a metric fuck ton of hard work to do if we're going to get this thing back on the tracks and chuggin' along again.
