Insulated Incumbents

Doug Ross has a great post, cross-posted at Reclaim Conservatism, that looks at rate of reelection for representatives and how that tends to insulate them from their constituency.

The federal government now consists of a body of lifetime bureaucrats, many of whom couldn’t power a flashlight with all of their brainpower combined, who are reelected automatically through their use of federal tax funds. They reward, they punish, they anoint.

I encourage you to go look at this post, and leave your comments there.
