Hope there's another side to the story here.

Please explain how there could be a not insane, not corrupt version of this story.

I didn't read the bill or any of the article links this (biased) source mentioned, so yeah there could pretty easily be another side to this. Once again, I hope there is.

I know this isn't from the other side, but here is a NYT piece that is cited in his little report. The guy in that video (not sure if you watched it - don't if you haven't) seems like your typical young political snob, but at least he cited a few things.

I don't know. Maybe I'm jaded but this seems like fairly typical behavior presented in an easy to understand way which makes it infuriating. Someone get some stats on who writes the bills. I have a hard time believing the all the bills come from lazy ass congress people.
