Let me get this straight, because someone testifying before a Congressional
committee makes a proposal, the purpose of the committee is magically
transformed into seeing this one person's proposal brought to reality, is
that about it? And for this I'm supposed to take the word of an article
appearing on a website run by a group led and funded in large part by
Republican party activists? Hmmmm, I can't help wondering if there might
not be just a touch of political spin involved here, I hope that doesn't
mean I'm too cynical.
